Answer 2

The 3 feet fabric will cost $ 1.09728 almost $ 1.10

Explanation:

First we will find out how many meters 3 feet will be.

1 feet = 0.3048 meters

She needs 3 feet of fabric

3 *1 feet = 3* 0.3048 ( multiplying both sides by 3)

3 feet = 0.9144 meters

Using the unitary method we will find the cost of 3 feet of fabric

1 meter costs $ 1.20

0.9144 *1 meter costs $ 1.20 * 0.9144 ( multiplying both sides by 0.9144)

0.9144 meter = $ 1.09728

The 3 feet fabric will cost $ 1.09728 almost $ 1.10
