Mrs.Jacobs bought one third of one yard of material at $6.96 per yard, and 3 yards of material at $8.24 per yard. How much did she spend for all of the material?
(1/3 * 6.96) + (3 * 8.24) = ?
6.96×.33=2.30
8.24×3=24.72
24.72+2.30=27.02
The answer is $27.02
To find out how much Mrs. Jacobs spent for all of the material, we need to calculate the total cost for each type of material and then add them together.
First, let's calculate the cost of one third of one yard of material at $6.96 per yard. To do this, we need to find out the cost of one third of a yard. We can do this by dividing $6.96 by 3:
Cost of one third of a yard = $6.96 / 3 = $2.32
Next, let's calculate the cost of 3 yards of material at $8.24 per yard. We can do this by multiplying the length of material (3 yards) by the cost per yard ($8.24):
Cost of 3 yards of material = 3 yards * $8.24/yard = $24.72
Now, we can find the total cost by adding the cost of one third of a yard to the cost of 3 yards:
Total cost = $2.32 + $24.72 = $27.04
Therefore, Mrs. Jacobs spent $27.04 for all of the material.
