An extension cord 6 yards long costs $8.46. What is the price per foot?
Hint: There are 3 feet in 1 yard.
First, we need to convert the length of the extension cord from yards to feet. Since there are 3 feet in 1 yard, we can calculate:
6 yards x 3 feet/yard = 18 feet
Now, we can calculate the price per foot by dividing the total cost of $8.46 by the length of the extension cord in feet:
$8.46 / 18 feet ≈ $0.47 per foot
Therefore, the price per foot of the extension cord is approximately $0.47.
