    The slinky situation

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To make a rate, divide one value by the other.

    For the short bungee,

    6 inches : 3 pound = 2 inches per pound

    While the slinky,

    36 inches (remember to convert feet to inches) : 1 pound = 36 inches per pound

    As you can tell by the numbers, 36 inches per pound is way better than the 2 inches per pound.
