Question

Mr. Santon bought 2.6 yards of fabric for $8.94 about how much was the cost per yard

Answer 1

Since this question is asking for the unit rate of the cost per yard of fabric, think of this as a ratio and proportions question where 2.6:8.94 = 1:x (represents the cost per yard).
To solve, cross multiply to get 2.6x=8.94
Then, solve for x and you get about $3.44 per yard
