Suppose that 18 inches of wire costs 72 cents. At the same rate, how much (in cents) will 14 inches of wire cost?

cents

Step-by-step explanation:

If inches of wire cost cents, then each inch of wire will cost cents. Therefore, 14 inches of wire will cost cents. Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
