Answer 1

Answer: C is closest to the correct answer

Explanation:

Convert the inches into feet (12 inches equal 1 foot). Then convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions and multiply.

`11\ ft\ 2\ in=11(2)/(12)ft\qquad\longrightarrow \qquad11(1)/(6)ft\qquad =\qquad (67)/(6)\ ft\\\\\\9\ ft\ 10\ in= 9(10)/(12)ft\qquad\longrightarrow \qquad9(5)/(6)ft\qquad =\qquad (59)/(6)\ ft\\\\\\(67)/(6)\ ft* (59)/(6)\ ft* (\$2.50)/(ft^2)=(\$9,882.50)/(36)\qquad \longrightarrow \qquad \large\boxed{\$274.51}`
