Solution

Step 1: Convert the dimensions from feet to yards, since the cost is given per square yard. There are 3 feet in a yard. So, 15 feet is 15/3 = 5 yards and 24 feet is 24/3 = 8 yards.

Step 2: Calculate the area of the canvas in square yards. The area of a rectangle is length x width, so the area is 5 yards x 8 yards = 40 square yards.

Step 3: Multiply the area by the cost per square yard to find the total cost. The cost is 0.50persquareyard,sothetotalcostis40squareyardsx0.50 per square yard, so the total cost is 40 square yards x 0.50 per square yard = $20.
