The number has 2 digits - let's call them x and y. The positive difference between the two combinations (lowest-highest and highest-lowest) is always equal to the positive difference of x and y, multiplied by 9.

For example:

76 and 67: 76 - 67 = 9 and ((7-6)*9) = 1*9 = 9
73 and 37: 73 - 37 = 36 and ((7-3)*9) = 4*9 = 36

Ateacher uses 36 centimeters of tape to hang up 9 student projects. At that rate

Troyanec [42]

The teacher would need 40 centimeters of tape to hang 10 student projects.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Tape used to hang projects = 36 centimeters

Number of projects hanged = 9

We will find unit rate;

9 projects = 36 centimeters

1 project = $\frac{36}{9}\ centimeters$

1 project = 4 centimeters

Therefore,

Tape needed to hang 10 projects = 4*10 = 40 centimeters

The teacher would need 40 centimeters of tape to hang 10 student projects.
