Question

Pam pays $8.00 for 1 yard of fabric. How much would the fabric cost per inch? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.

Answer 1

Well

\[1 \space\text{yard} = 36\space\text{inches}\]

so since it's $8.00 for 1 yard it would be 8.00 for 36 inches

To find the cost for 1 inch...divide both sides by 36

1 inch = 8/36

1 inch = ???

Answer 2

0.22

Answer 3

That looks correct to me!
