Answer: 12 inches

Explanation:

Because 19 inches costs 76 cents. If you divide 19/19 you get 1 inch. Also divide 76/19 and you get 4 cents. Now it’s asking how many inches could be bought for 48 cents. So 48/4 equals to 12 and that’s your answer. You see 19x4=76. And 12x4= 48. I hope that helped you.
