Lisa uses 2 pieces of copper wire, each 9 feet long, for
each robot she builds. If she started with a 500-yard roll
of copper wire, which of the following represents the
number of yards of wire left on the roll after 'Lisa built r
robots? (3 feet = 1 yard)

Respuesta :

Answer:

yards of wire left on the roll = 500 - r(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

9 feet = 3 yards we need to find how much wire is left on the roll after she builds a certain amount of robots. she uses 9 feet or 3 yards per robot so we have to multiply the amount of robots (r) by 3 yards and subtract that from 500 yards or the total amount of wire she has and that gives us the total amount of wire she has left. Hope this helps.
