Answer:

Approximately equal to  

0.5

cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Divide  

5.79

by  

12

to find the answer or you can use a proportion to calculate it (really helpful for me).

First, I put  

12

over  

5.79

so  

12

5.79

. So we have socks/costs. You can have costs/socks. It does not matter.

They asked for how much is one pair of socks, we can write

12 pair of socks

$

5.79

=

1 pair of socks

x

Here  

x

represents the cost of  

1

pair of socks. It is good to use a variable when you have an unknown value.

Then we can do cross-multiplication. We have

12

x

=

$

5.79

Solving for  

x

gives you

x

=

$

0.4825

or approximately equal to  

0.5

cents (do not forget the unit).
