A 2-yard roll of wrapping paper costs $7.26. What is the price per foot?

$

Answer 1

To find the price per foot for the wrapping paper, you first need to convert the length from yards to feet.

1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, a 2-yard roll is:

\[ 2 \text{ yards} \times 3 \text{ feet/yard} = 6 \text{ feet} \]

Now, to find the price per foot, you divide the total cost of the roll by the total length in feet:

\[ \text{Price per foot} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Length}} = \frac{7.26}{6} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \frac{7.26}{6} = 1.21 \]

So, the price per foot of the wrapping paper is $1.21.
