Each paperclip is 3/4 of an inch long and cost $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 paperclips?

Respuesta :

First find the total number of paperclips:

36 / (3/4) = 36 / .75 = 48 paperclips

if they each cost $0.02, then the total cost is:
48 * 0.02
