Harper is buying fabric to make pillows. At the store, 3 yards of
flannel fabric costs $18, and 5 feet of fleece fabric costs $11. Whi
the better buy?
I know the units need to be the same to compare the prices.
First,
the length of the flannel fabric to feet.
The
of feet to yards is 3 feet: 1 yard.

for flannel, 3*3=9, 18/9=2 so $2 per foot.
for fleece, 11/5=5.5 so $5.50 per foot.
flannel is the better but
