Q. A 6-foot piece of copper wire costs $10.08. What is the price per inch
Convert feet to inches: First, we need to determine how many inches are in 6 feet to find the price per inch.There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so we multiply 6 feet by 12 inches/foot.6 feet×12 inches/foot=72 inches
Calculate price per inch: Next, we calculate the price per inch by dividing the total cost by the number of inches.The total cost is $10.08, and we have 72 inches.Price per inch = Total cost / Number of inchesPrice per inch = $10.08/72 inches
Find final price per inch: Now, we perform the division to find the price per inch.$10.08/72 inches = $0.14 per inch
