Question

A 2-yard piece of brass wire costs $30.24. What is the price per foot?

Answer 1

Answer: $5.04

Explanation:

First, we will find the length of this piece in feet.

2 yards * 3 feet in a yard = 6 feet

Next, we will divide the price to find the price by foot.

`\frac{\$30.24 }{6 \;\text{feet}} =\frac{\$5.04}{1\;\text{foot}}` = $5.04
