Answer:
36 inches of cable weighs 0.68 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
1178 ft cable weighs 266 lbs...and u want to know how many lbs a 36 inch cable weighs....
we need to turn ur ft to inches....1 ft = 12 inches....so 1178 ft = (1178 * 12) = 14,136 inches
14136 in. to 266 lbs = 36 in.to x lbs
14136 / 266 = 36 / x...cross multiply
14136x = (36)(266)
14136x = 9576
x = 9576 / 14136
x = 0.6774 rounds to 0.68 lbs <===
