-yard roll of waxed paper costs

\$6.12

. What is the price per foot?

\newline

\$

_____

Determine Feet in $2$ Yards: First, we need to determine how many feet are in $2$ yards since the price given is for $2$ yards and we want to find the price per foot. $\newline$ $1$ yard is equal to $3$ feet, so $2$ yards is equal to $2 \times 3$ feet.
Calculate Feet in $2$ Yards: Now, we calculate the number of feet in $2$ yards. $\newline$ $2 \times 3 = 6$ feet. $\newline$ So, there are $6$ feet in $2$ yards.
Find Cost per Foot: Next, we need to divide the total cost of the roll by the number of feet to find the cost per foot. $\newline$ The total cost of the roll is $\$6.12$ , and there are $6$ feet in the roll.
Divide Total Cost: Now, we perform the division to find the cost per foot. $\$6.12$ ÷ $6 = \$1.02$ per foot.
