Answer 1

Multiply 6 feet of elastic with $0.84 and get 5.04. Then multiply 18 and 1.62 to get 29.16. Add 29.16 and 5.04 to get 34.2. brainiest pls

Answer 2

You would multiply 6 feet by $0.84 since $0.84 is how much it cost for 1 foot or 12 inches of elastic. Then you could either convert 18 inches into 1.5 feet or you could divide 1.62 by 2 since if you add 6 inches to 12 inches you get 18 inches then either add 1.62+0.81 or multiply 1.62 by 1.5. Then add the total cost of the elastic and the total cost of the ribbon together. The answer choice that correspondes with this is answer choice D.
