Question

Suppose that 16 inches of wire costs 48 cents.

Answer 1

Answer:

it's 81 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{48}{16 } = 3 \\ \times 27 = 81cents$

Answer 2

Answer:

9 inches of wire

Step-by-step explanation:

Get the wire to its unit rate so what it costs for one inch.     48 divided by 16=3

so it costs 3 cents per inch.

Then divide 27 by 3 because you know each inch will be 3 cents to get 9

so you can get 9 inches of wire for 27 cents.

48 divided by 16=3

27 divided by 3=9
