Question

Suppose that 12 inches of wire costs 60 cents. At the same rate, how much (in cents) will 5 inches of wire cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

25 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

60 cents/12 inches = 5 cents/1 inch (5 cents per inch)

If there are 5 inches of wire, and each inch costs 5 cents, it will cost 25 cents total. (5 cents x 5 inches)

Hope this helps :)
