To find the price per inch of the aluminum foil, we start by determining how many inches are in 8 feet.
1. Convert feet to inches:
\[
8 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 96 \text{ inches}
\]
2. Now, we will calculate the price per inch:
\[
\text{Price per inch} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total inches}} = \frac{2.88}{96}
\]
3. Next, we perform the division:
\[
\frac{2.88}{96} = 0.03
\]
Thus, the price per inch of the aluminum foil is \(\$0.03\).
