Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Answer:

Around 3 cents per inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1:

8 Meters x 100 = 800  centimeters

800/2.54 = 315 in

10 Dollars / 315 =0.0318 Dollars per inch. around 3 cents per inch.

Option 2: (same result)

8 Meters x 100 = 800  centimeters

10 dollars / 800 = 0.125 dollars per centimeter

0.0125 x 2.54 = 0.318 dollars per inch. around 3 cents per inch
