suppose that 12 inches if wire cost 60 cent at the same rate how much in cents will 23 inches of wire cost
60/12=5cents per inch.
5*23=Xcents
115
To find out how much 23 inches of wire will cost at the same rate, we need to determine the cost per inch of wire.
Given that 12 inches of wire cost 60 cents, we can calculate the cost per inch as follows:
Cost per inch = Total cost / Total length
= 60 cents / 12 inches
= 5 cents per inch
Now that we know the cost per inch is 5 cents, we can calculate the cost of 23 inches of wire by multiplying the cost per inch by the length:
Cost of 23 inches of wire = 5 cents per inch * 23 inches
= 115 cents
Therefore, 23 inches of wire will cost 115 cents.
