Hal needs 6 ft by 6 ft of Bristol board for a presentation. What is the area of the Bristol board in the square yards? The store charges 0.50 cents / yd^2. How much will the sheet cost?

Answer 1

To find the area of the Bristol board in square yards, we first need to find the area in square feet and then convert it to square yards.

The area of the Bristol board is 6 ft by 6 ft, so the area is 6 * 6 = 36 square feet.

To convert square feet to square yards, we need to divide by 9 (since 1 square yard is equal to 9 square feet). Therefore, the area in square yards is 36 / 9 = 4 square yards.

Now, let's calculate the cost of the Bristol board. The store charges 0.50 cents per square yard, so the cost of the Bristol board is 4 * 0.50 = $2.

Therefore, the sheet will cost $2.
