A farmer pays $11.70 for 6.5 metres of wire. What is the cost of 1 meter of wire

Answer 1

To find the cost of 1 meter of wire, we need to divide the total cost by the total length of wire.

Cost of 1 meter of wire = Total cost / Total length of wire

So,

Cost of 1 meter of wire = $11.70 / 6.5 meters

To calculate this, we divide $11.70 by 6.5

Cost of 1 meter of wire = $1.80

So, the cost of 1 meter of wire is $1.80.
