Answer:

$9.00

Explanation:

We can use conversion factors to solve this equation. The multiplication sequence that I got is shown below:


(3ft)/(1) ×
(12 in)/(1ft) ×
(0.25)/(1in)

Our feet and inches cancel out and we get the final expression
(3*12*0.25)/(1), which is equal to 9, or $9.00.

Hopefully that was helpful! :)
