Answer 1

Answer: 3.20 per yard is the better deal

Explanation:

There are 36 inches in a yard

$0.15 x 36 = $5.4

$3.20 x 1 = $3.20

Answer 2

1 yard=$3.20

1 inch=$0.15

36 inches=$0.15×36

=$5.40

$3.20 per yard is better deal.

Explanation:

There is 36 inches in a yard. In order to compare both prices in the same length, 0.15 was multiplied by 36 to find out the price.

$5.40 for 36 inches(a yard)

$3.20 for a yard

So, $3.20 per yard is the better deal.
