Question

Sarah needs 3 feet of fabric for a project she is working on, but the store only sells the fabric in meters. One meter of fabric costs $1.20. How much will the fabric cost?
[1 ft = 0.305 m]

A. $1.10

B. $11.80

C. $0.76

D. $0.12

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of one meter of fabric is $1.20.

Given that 1 ft = 0.305 meters

Hence, 1 meter = $\frac{1}{0.305}$ ft = 3.278 ft

So, the cost of 3.278 ft of fabric is $1.20

As Sarah needs 3 feet of fabric for her project, then it will cost $\frac{ 1.2 \times 3 }{3.278} = 1.10$ Dollars (Approximate)
