Explanation:

If you buy two feet of linen, you'll be paying a bit over 5 dollars per foot, but if you buy 62 inches of linen, you'll be paying about 7 dollars per foot.

Answer:

2-foot piece of linen for $10.32

Explanation:

First, we need to know how many inches are in 2 feet.

  • 1 foot = 12 inches
  • 12 × 2 = 24

Now, we can solve for the price per inch of linen.

  • 10.32 ÷ 24 = 0.43

So, the price per inch for the first one is $0.43.

To solve for the price per inch of the second one, we can use this equation:

  • 37.82 ÷ 62 = 0.61

The second one costs $0.61 for every inch.

Therefore, the better price is the one with 2 feet for $10.32
