To find the price per inch, we need to find the total number of inches in the 9-foot piece of cloth.
Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot, we can calculate the total number of inches by multiplying the number of feet by 12:
9 feet x 12 inches/foot = 108 inches.
To find the price per inch, we divide the total cost of the cloth by the total number of inches:
$5.40 / 108 inches = $0.05 per inch.
Therefore, the price per inch is $0.05.
