An 18-foot piece of rope costs $115.56. What is the price per yard?

Question

$

Answer 1

To find the price per yard for an 18-foot piece of rope that costs $115.56, we first need to convert feet to yards since there are 3 feet in a yard.

1. Convert 18 feet to yards: $$18\text{ feet}÷3=6\text{ yards}$$

2. Now, we need to calculate the price per yard. We do this by dividing the total cost by the number of yards: $$\text{Price per yard}=\frac{115.56}{6}$$

3. Performing the calculation: $$\text{Price per yard}=19.26$$

Thus, the price per yard of the rope is: $$\boxed{{\displaystyle 19.26}}$$
