Answer:

$0.06

Explanation:

There are 12 inches in a foot, and there are 8 feet all together, meaning there is 96 inches for $5.76.

Divided the cost y the number of inches to get the cost per inch,

5.76 divided by 96 = 0.06.

Answer:

$0.06

Explanation:

First, find how many inches are in 8 feet.

Since 1 foot is 12 inches, multiply 8 by 12:

8(12)

= 96

Then, to find the price per inch, divide the price by the number of inches:

5.76/96

= 0.06

So, the price per inch is $0.06
