Question

So I would like help with this question:
Suppose that 19 inches of wire costs 57 cents.
At the same rate, how much (in cents) will 48 inches of wire cost?

Answer 1

To find the answer, find the unit rate by dividing 57 by 19. The answer to that is 3. Multiply 48 by 3. That’s how much it costs. Your final answer is 144 cents. I hope this helps!
