Question

A certain material costs 10 cents for 2 inches of length. What will be the cost of a 2-foot stick?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.20 USD

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, you can do

$12 \times 2 = 24$

And then:

$24 \div 2 = 12$

to represent the 10 cents per two inches. Then, because it costs ten cents, multiply the 12 by 10:

$12 \times 10 = 1.20$

1.20$.
