    Let's figure out how many square yards you have by first converting all of the measurements into yards:

    30 inches x (1 yard/36 inches) = 30/36 yd = 5/6 yd

    12 feet x (1 yard/3 feet) = 4 yards.

    Now multiply length x width:

    5/6 x 4 = 20/6 or 3 1/3 square yards.

    Finally, multiply unit price by square yards:

    $6 per sq yd x 3 1/3 sq yd = $20 cost
