Question

Joy needs 8 feet of fabric for a project she is working on, but the store only sells the fabric in meters. One meter of fabric costs $1.15.
How much will the fabric cost?
[1 ft = 0.305m)

Answer 1

Answer:

The total 8 ft of fabric will cost $ 2.80416.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the cloth needed by Joy =   8 ft

Now, 1  ft = 0.305 m

⇒ 8 ft =  (8 x 0.305 ) m

          = 2.4384 meters

or, Joy needs  2.4384 meters  of cloth for her project.

Now, the cost of 1 m cloth = $1.15

So, the cost of 2.4384 m cloth =  $(  1.15  x 2.4384)

                                                             = $ 2.80416

or, the cost of 8 ft cloth is $ 2.80416 .

Hence, the total 8 ft of fabric will cost $ 2.80416.
