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

Answer:
£1000, £1400
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the parts of the ratio 5 + 7 = 12 parts
Divide the amount by 12 to find the value of one part of the ratio.
£2400 ÷ 12 = £200, thus
5 parts = 5 × £200 = £1000
7 parts = 7 × £200 = £1400
