Problema Solution
Dan orders supplies for the science chemistry lab. Each of the 15 stations in the lab needs 2 feet of rubber tubing. If rubber tubing sells for $8.75 per yard how much will it cost to equip all stations?
Answer provided by our tutors
The lab will need total of 15*2 = 30 ft of rubber tubing.
1 yd = 3 ft
1 ft = 1/3 yd
30 ft = 30/3 yd = 10 yd
$8.75*10 = $87.5
It will cost $87.5 to equip all the stations.
