Answer: $26

Explanation:

I yard equals 3 feet an 24 inches equals 2 feet. The dimensions of the box are length = 2, width = 3 , and height = 4. To find the surface area of the box, you have to do some simple multiplication.

2 x 3 x 2 = 12

3 x 4 x 2 = 24

2 x 4 x 2 = 16

Then. you add all the numbers together and you get the sum of 52. Then you divide 52 by .5 and the final answer is $26
