The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
Answer: I believe it is Response 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is 7.5 you add up all the numbers and then divide by the amount of numbers there is
We know that it costs $68 for 16 square feet of flooring. To find out how much it costs for 12, we first have to find out how much it costs for 1 square foot.
To find that, we would do $68 divided by 16, which is 4.25.
That means 1 square foot costs $4.25.
Then, we would multiply $4.25 by 12 to find how much 12 square feet costs.
$4.25 times 12 is 51.
So, it would cost $51 to have 12 square feet of flooring.
