Answer:

The cost per foot of the sandwich is $12.

Explanation:

You need to use division for this problem.

Pretend you are cutting the 6-foot sanwhich into 1-foot pieces. You will have 6 pieces. You have to give each piece an equal amount of money. Think about your 6-times tables. What times 6 = 72?

__ x 6 =72

or

72/6 = __
