i need help with this fill in the blank...
cuanto____ por los calcetines amarillos?
the blank has 7 letters and is like this: ca-a--e i am missing those 3 letters.
PLEASE HELP!
im not cheating. i just need help.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. If you are sure of the ca_a_ _e and there is an accent mark on "cuánto" and it's all ONE word, I can't think of anything to fit. Here's why:
1. It has to be a verb.
2. It ends in -e so it must be an -er or -ir verb.
3. After ca and before a it must be a consonant.
If I were you, I'd go through the text to see the vocabulary presented in this unit/chapter.
Now, if you only need a 7-letter word and you can use past tense you could try "costaba" = how much was it costing for the yellow socks.
Is this a crossword puzzle or simply a "fill-in-the blank?"

To solve this fill-in-the-blank, we need to find a word with 7 letters that fits the given pattern "ca-a--e." Let's first consider the context of the sentence: "Cuanto ____ por los calcetines amarillos?" This sentence is likely asking about the price (precio) of yellow socks (calcetines amarillos).
Given that, we can start by looking for a Spanish word related to price or cost that fits the pattern. One possibility is "cuesta," which means "costs" or "is worth" in English. Let's check if "cuesta" fits the pattern:
C - U - E - S - T - A
The word "cuesta" does indeed fit the pattern "ca-a--e" as the missing letters. Therefore, the answer to the fill-in-the-blank is "cuesta."
So, the complete sentence would be: "Cuanto cuesta por los calcetines amarillos?" which translates to "How much do the yellow socks cost?"
