Question

One patterned blue fabric sells for $15.00 every two yards, and another sells for $37.50 every five yards.Do these fabrics have the same unit cost?If not,which one is more expensive

Answer 1

The two fabrics have the same unit cost of $7.50 per yard.

Explanation:

To determine if the two fabrics have the same unit cost, we need to calculate the unit cost of each fabric.

The first fabric sells for $15.00 every two yards, so the unit cost is calculated as $15.00 divided by 2 yards, which equals $7.50 per yard.

The second fabric sells for $37.50 every 5 yards, so the unit cost is calculated as $37.50 divided by 5 yards, which equals $7.50 per yard.

Since both fabrics have the same unit cost of $7.50 per yard, we can conclude that they have the same unit cost.
