Question

Each paper clip is `3/4` of an-inch long and costs $0.02. Exactly enough paper clips are laid end to end to have a total length of 36 inches. What is the total cost of these paper clips?

Answer 1

`$0.54`

Explanation:

`1` = `3/4`inch long
then in `36` inches how many papers are there?
`(3/4)*36 = 27`
if each costs `$0.02`

then `27` costs = `27 * $0.02 = $0.54`
