Question
A straw for a box drink is 4 1/8 inches long and costs $0.015 to make. The straws are laid end-to-end on the conveyor belt until they extend 82 1/2 inches. How many straws are in the line and how much do they cost?

82 1/2 divide 4 1/8 = 165/2 divide 33/8 = 165/2 multiply 8/33 = 660/33
660 divide 33 = 20
0.15 multiply 20 = 30
30 straws

660/33 = 20 straws
20 * $.015 = $.30
20 * $.015 = $.30
