Question

How much is it to buy 10 meters of fleece when the rate is $1.60/ft of fabric

Answer 1

You will have to convert meters to feet because the price is connected to feet.

1 foot is approximately equal to .3048 m.

First, you can set up a ratio problem to find out how many feet are in 10 meters.


`(1 ft)/(.3048 m)` x 10 m = 32.81 ft (when rounded to 2nd decimal place)

Then, you can multiply this by $1.60 to find out how much your fabric would cost total.

$1.60 / 1 ft x 32.81 ft = $49.30 (when rounded to 2nd decimal place as you have to do with money)
