One patterned blue fabric sells for $15.00 every two yards, and another sells for $37.50 every 5 yards. Do these fabrics have the same unit cost?

Answer 1

15.00 dollars/2 yards=7.50 dollars/yards

37.50 dollars/5 yards=7.50 dollars/yards

These units have the same price of 7.50 per yard.

Answer 2

In each case, divide the total cost by the number of yards, and compare.

$15.00 / (2 yards) = $7.50 per yard

$37.50 / (5 yards) = $7.50 per yard

The unit cost is the same for both.
