Question

a worker uses 450 inches of steel wire to make 300 springs of the same size. at this rate how many inches of steel wire are needed to make 1 spring?

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

You divide the 450 inches of steel by the 300 springs to get 1.5 or 1 1/2

a trick to have a better idea is that if the number that is being divided is larger than the number you are dividing by, the answer will always be greater than one.
