A 9-foot roll of butcher paper costs $5.22. What is the price per yard?
$
The first step is to convert 9 feet to yards.
1 yard = 3 feet
9 feet = 3 yards
Next, we divide the total price by the number of yards:
$5.22 ÷ 3 = $1.74
Therefore, the price per yard is $1.74.
To find the price per yard, we need to convert the given length from feet to yards.
Since there are 3 feet in a yard, we divide the given length by 3 to get the price per yard.
9 feet / 3 = 3 yards
Now, we can find the price per yard by dividing the total cost by the number of yards:
$5.22 / 3 yards = $1.74 per yard
Therefore, the price per yard of the butcher paper is $1.74.
