Question

A 6-yard roll of butcher paper costs 16.38. What is the price per foot

Answer 1

The price per foot is $0.91

Explanation:

A 6-yard roll of butcher paper costs 16.38

1 yard = 3 foot

6 yards = 3 times 6 = 18 foot

the cost of 18 foot is $16.38

To find price per foot , we divide the cost of 6 yards by 18

`(16.38)/(18) =0.91`

The price per foot is $0.91

Answer 2

1 yard = 3 feet.

Multiply total yards by 3 to fond total feet: 6 yards x 3 = 18 feet.

Divide total price by number of feet:

16.38 / 18 = $0.91 per foot
