Question

Two students are solving the same problem: At a hardware store, they can cut a length of rope off of a big roll, so you can buy any length you like. The cost for 6 feet of rope is $7.50. How much would you pay for 50 feet of rope, at this rate?

Answer 1

Answer: 62.5

Explanation:

if you multiply 1.25 x 50 = 62.5

(in the problem you may have been given a chart if not look below for the problem also i’m sorry if it doesn’t make sense lol)

[6 above 1 under 50] - [1.75 under 1.25]

[using 1.25 x 50 you get your answer 62.5)
