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