Answer:

a. the piece is already large enough

b. about $5.9866666666 or round to $5.99 for exactly 24 inch

c. The first option is a better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

a. convert 3/4 yard to inches. 1 yard = 36 inch. so 0.75yd / x = 1 / 36

solve and get x = 27 inches, this is more than 24 inches needed.

b. first find how many yards you need, that is same as 24 inch.

1 / 36 = x / 24 inch

x = 2/3 yards

next find how much price would be:

8.98 / 1 = x / 2/3

x = 8.98(2/3) = about $5.99

c. compare the two prices, $5.50 is less than $5.99 so the first option is better.
