if a nail is 12 inches long and another nail is 4%as long what is the length of the 2nd nail

Question

This is my math homework and I need some help.

Answer 1

Hi Edward, if one nail is 12 inches long, and the second nail is 4% as long as the first nail, the second nail will be shorter than the first nail.

 

Equation:

 

12 * .04 = .48

 

The second nail is only .48 inches long.
