Answer:

$1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply 8/7 of 56, you get 64.

This shows that you will need 64 paperclips to make 56 inches worth of paper clips. If each paper clip costs two cents, you need to multiply 56 paperclips by 2 cents. 56x0.02=1.12 so it will cost you 1 dollar and twelve cents
