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