A teacher uses 36 centimeters of tape to hang up 9 student projects. At that rate, how much tape would the teacher need to hang up 10 student projects?

The teacher would need 40 centimeters of tape to hang 10 student projects.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Tape used to hang projects = 36 centimeters

Number of projects hanged = 9

We will find unit rate;

9 projects = 36 centimeters

1 project = \frac{36}{9}\ centimeters

9

36

centimeters

1 project = 4 centimeters

Therefore,

Tape needed to hang 10 projects = 4*10 = 40 centimeters

The teacher would need 40 centimeters of tape to hang 10 student projects.
