Multiplying Decimal: The price of fabric is $7.60 per meter. Lance bought 5.5 meters of fabric. What was the total cost?

1 answer

To find the total cost of the fabric, you can multiply the price per meter by the number of meters bought.

The price of the fabric is $7.60 per meter, and Lance bought 5.5 meters.

The calculation is as follows:

\[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Price per meter} \times \text{Number of meters} \]

\[ \text{Total cost} = 7.60 \times 5.5 \]

Now, let's calculate it:

\[ 7.60 \times 5.5 = 41.80 \]

Therefore, the total cost of the fabric is $41.80.
