Answer:

12 inches of wire

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • 14 in = $0.60
  • x in   = $0.48

Solve:

Set up a proportion to solve this equation. We can find the price for 1 inch first.

  1. Solve for 1 inch
  • 15 in = $0.60
  • 1 in = $0.60 / 15
  • 1 in = $0.04

Now, we know that 1 inch of wire costs $0.04. We can solve for the x inxhes:

  1. Solve for x inches
  • x in ·$0.04 = $0.48
  • x in = $0.48 ÷ $0.04
  • x in = 12
  • x = 12

You can buy 12 inches of wire.
