Question

1. marnie owns a carpet store and sells hallway runners for $9.52/yard. how much is this per meter? (this is a 2 step process)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall yard to meter conversion

We know that \( 1 \) yard \( = 0.9144 \) meters.

Step2: Calculate price per meter

The price per yard is \( \$9.52 \). To find the price per meter, we divide the price per yard by the number of meters in a yard. So we use the formula: Price per meter \(=\frac{\text{Price per yard}}{\text{Yards to meters conversion factor}}\)
Substitute the values: Price per meter \(=\frac{9.52}{0.9144}\approx 10.41\) (rounded to two decimal places)

Answer:

The price per meter is approximately \(\$10.41\)
