Lucía needs 13.33 feet of cotton.
Since Lucía makes braided key chains out of cotton cord, and for every 8 feet of cotton cord she has, she can make 3 braided key chains, to represent the relationship between the feet of cotton cord and the number of key chains and find the number of feet of cotton cord Lucia needs to make 5 key chains, the following calculations must be performed, through a cross multiplication:
- 8CC = 3KC
- 3 = 8
- 5 = X
- 5 x 8/3 = X
- 40/3 = X
- 13.33 = X
Therefore, Lucía needs 13.33 feet of cotton.

x = 3/32
Option C is the right answer
Are you looking for the number of cans you and your friend each collected? If yes, here is the solution:
Let x be the number of cans.
4x + 5x = 180
9x = 180
9x/9 = 180/9 (divide both sides of the equation by 9)
x = 20
Now, substitute the values:
4(20) + 5(20) = 180
80 + 100 = 180
180 = 180
Therefore, you collected 80 cans and your friend collected 100 cans.
