Answer 2

Answer:

$0.50 is that per square yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate is defined as the rate are expressed as a quantity as 1 such as 2 miles per hour or 5 km/hr.,

As per the statement:

If a wood floor costs $4.50 per square foot

⇒$\text{Unit rate per square foot} = \ 4.50$

We have to find  how much is that per square yard

Use conversion:

1 square foot =  $\frac{1}{9}$ square yards.

In 1 square foot = $ 4.50

then;

in 1 square yards = $\frac{1}{9} \cdot 4.50 = \ 0.50$

⇒$\text{Unit rate per square yards} = \ 0.50$

therefore, $0.50 is that per square yard
