How many feet of yarn can be purchased for $0.52 if it costs $0.04 a foot?

The correct answer is: 13

To determine how many feet of yarn can be purchased for $0.52 at a cost of $0.04 per foot, you need to divide the total amount of money available by the cost per foot. First, take the total amount, which is $0.52, and divide it by the cost of one foot of yarn, which is $0.04. Calculating this gives: \[ \frac{0.52}{0.04} = 13 \] This calculation shows that you can purchase 13 feet of yarn for $0.52. The result makes sense because if each foot costs only $0.04, it allows for a larger quantity to be purchased within the $0.52 budget. The other options represent numbers that, when multiplied by $0.04, would either exceed $0.52 or fall short, confirming that 13 feet is indeed the maximum feasible purchase with the given amount and price per unit.
