Answer:

Explanation:

1 yd = 3 ft...so 1 1/2 yds = 4.5 ft

12.23 / 4.5 = 2.717 rounds to 2.72 per foot <==

Good evening ,

Answer:

1 1/2 yard = 3/2 yard

1 foot = 1/3 yard

(3/2)/(1/3) = 9/2 then 3/2 yard = 9/2 foot

The amount that Presley paid per foot of fabric is :

12.23 ÷ (9/2) = 12.23÷(9÷2) = $ 2.717777777778.
