Answer 2

Explanation:

Agnes spent $10 for 5 feet of wood molding to frame a picture.

Greg bought one yard of the same molding.

1 yard = 3 feet

We will calculate the answer with unitary method.

∵ 5 feet of wood molding costs = $10.00

∴ 1 feet of wood molding costs =
`(10)/(5)`

∴ 3 feet of wood molding costs =
`(10)/(5)` × 3 = $6.00

Greg spent $6.00 in the molding of 1 yard wood.
