Question

A product costs $48.50 for 75 feet. How much does it cost per inch?

Answer 1

0.0538888889 per inch

Answer 2

Convert feet into inches first.

There are 12 inches in a foot. To convert feet into inches, multiply the feet by 12:

$75 \times 12 = 900$

There are 900 inches in 75 feet.

Divide the cost of the product by the inches to find the cost per inch:

$48.50 \div 900 = 0.05389$

The product costs $0.05389 per inch.
