Answer: The string of lights will have to be 144 inches long
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok so if 1200 total pens and 60 were taken that's a ratio of 1200/60=20
out of 60pens 4 didn't work, again ratio is 4/60=1/15 so about 1/15 of the pens didn't work.
so we have 1200pens * 1/15broken ratio = 80 pens or we can say
20*4=80pens won't work from 20 groups of 60 and 4 out of 60 not working is 20*4=80 not working from total batch of 1200.
hope this helps you some! thank you!!!!!!!!!
