Question

Math 

Answer 1

Hi, Reneisha.

 

Okay, so if 11 inches of wire costs 44 cents, we can find the price per inch.

11X =44

Therefore, it costs 4 cents/ inch

 

So to find the cost of 33 inches

 

33 x 4 = 132 cents or $1.32

Answer 2

33 inches is 3 times 11 inches.

So the cost of 33 inches is 3 times the cost of 11 inches.

 

3(44) = ?
