Answer 2

$1.26 per yard of ribbon

Explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

The unit rate is the price that you pay for a unit of product, It is given by:

`unit\ rate=(total\ paid)/(number\ of\ products) \\`

in this case, all you have to do is put the values in the equation

Step one

Let

`6(1)/(2) =((6*2)+1)/(2) =(13)/(2) =6.5`

so, 6 1/2=6.5

total paid:$8.22

number of products=6.5 yards of ribbon

replacing

`unit\ rate=(total\ paid)/(number\ of\ products)\\unit\ rate=(8.22)/(6.5)unit\ rate=1.26`

unit rate = $1.26 per yard of ribbon

I hope it helps, Have a great day
