Question

each paperclip is 7/8 of an inch long and costs $.03. exactly enough paper clips are laid end to end yo have a total length of 56 inches. what is the total cost of these paper clips?

Answer 1

1 clipe..............7/8
x.......................56

7x/8 = 56
7x = 56*8
x = 56*8/7
x = 8*8
x = 64 clipes

1 clipe = 0,03
64 clipes = 0,03*64
64 clipes = 1,92
