Answer:

$0.22

Explanation:

6 yards costs $3.96

Therefore, to find the cost of 1 yard, divide the cost of 6 yards by 6:

⇒ 1 yard = $3.96 ÷ 6

= $0.66

1 yard = 3 feet

Therefore, to find the cost of 1 foot, divide the cost of 1 yards by 3:

⇒ Price per foot = $0.66 ÷ 3

= $0.22

Answer:

$0.22/foot

Explanation:

Setting up the equation:

⇒ 6 yards of aluminum wire costs $3.96

⇒ 6 yards = $3.96

Simplifying the equation in cost/foot:

⇒ 6 yards = 6(3) feet = 18 feet = $3.96 (1 yard = 3 feet)

⇒ 18 feet = $3.96

1 foot = $3.96/18 = $0.22
