Answer:

$1.10

Explanation:

The cost of one meter of fabric is $1.20.

Given that 1 ft = 0.305 meters

Hence, 1 meter =
(1)/(0.305) ft = 3.278 ft

So, the cost of 3.278 ft of fabric is $1.20

As Sarah needs 3 feet of fabric for her project, then it will cost
( 1.2 * 3 )/(3.278) = 1.10 Dollars (Approximate)
