Hello!
The answer is:
The fabric will cost $4.58
D.$4.58
Why?
Since it's a conversion exercise, we need to pay special attention to the conversion procedure.
From the statement we know that:
[tex]1ft=0.305m[/tex]
So, if she needs 10 feet of fabric, we need to convert it to meters, and then, calculate its cost.
We have that:
[tex]10*1ft=10*0.305m\\\\10ft=3.05m[/tex]
Now, we have that each meter of fabric cost $1.50, so, 3.05m of fabric will cost:
[tex]\frac{1m}{1.50(dollars)}=\frac{3.05m}{cost}\\\\cost=\frac{3.05m*1.50(dollars)}{1m}=4.575(dollars)=4.58(dollars)[/tex]
Hence, we have that the cost of the fabric will be $4.58.
The correct option is: D.$4.58
Have a nice day!
