Astore sells rope by the meter. the equation p=0.8l represents the price p(in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is l meters long.

a. how much does the nylon cost per meter?

b. how long is a piece of nylon rope that costs $1.00?

1. $0.80 or 80 cents

2. 1.25 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation p=0.8L represents the price p (in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is L meters long.

1. To find how much the nylon costs per meter, take L = 1 (this means you are calculating the price of a piece of nylon rope that is 1 meter long):

2. To find how long a piece of nylon rope that costs $1.00 is, substitute into the equation p = 1:

rounding to the nearest thousandth would be 452,000

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5
