Question

Dustin needed 0.80 meter of fabric to make a pillow. The fabric cost $1.50 per meter. How much did Dustin pay for 0.80 meter of the fabric?

Answer 1

Given parameters:

Length of fabric needed to make a pillow = 0.8m

Cost of fabric per meter = $1.5

Unknown:

Cost of the 0.8m fabric  = ?

Solution:

  The cost of the fabric  = cost per meter x length of fabric

   Input the parameters and solve;

       Cost of the fabric  = 0. 8 x 1.5 = $1.2

Dustin will have to $1.2 for the fabric
