If an object weighs 15 pounds and it is 3 feet long, what is the weight per foot?

  1. 4 pounds

  2. 5 pounds

  3. 6 pounds

  4. 7 pounds

The correct answer is: 5 pounds

To determine the weight per foot, you need to divide the total weight of the object by its length. In this case, the object weighs 15 pounds and has a length of 3 feet. Calculating the weight per foot involves performing the following mathematical operation: Weight per foot = Total weight / Length Weight per foot = 15 pounds / 3 feet When you divide 15 by 3, you get 5. This means the object weighs 5 pounds for every foot of its length. Thus, the correct answer reflects the accurate calculation of weight per foot.
