Answer:
11 inches of wire
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that 16 inches of wire costs 64 cents. At the same rate, how many inches of wire can be bought for 44 cents?
From the above question:
64 cents = 16 inches of wire
44 cents = x
Cross Multiply
64 cents × x = 16 Inches × 44 cents
x = 16 inches × 44 cents/64 cents
x = 704/ 64
x = 11 inches
Therefore, 11 inches of wire can be bought for 44 cents
