Question

Akeelah makes lanyards for her friends. She uses 12 feet of cord to make a

total of 6 lanyards. Which expresses the unit rate for the length of cord
needed to make one lanyard?

Answer 1

2 feet of cord

Explanation:

Hey there!

In order to find out what the length of cord needed to make one lanyard, we need to take into consideration how much cord she needed to make for 6 lanyards

It says that she used 12 feet of cord to make 6 lanyards meaning that for one lanyard, she used 2 feet feet of cord to make one lanyard

To find that out, all you need to do is divide the two numbers together to find out how much cord was needed to make one lanyard

So Akeelah needs 2 feet of cord to make one lanyard
