    Multiply the cost per yard by the number of yards bought.

    Change 3 1/2 to an improper fraction:

    3 1/2 = 7/2

    Now you have 7/2 x 5/8

    Multiply the top numbers together and then the bottom numbers together:

    (7 x 5) / (2 x 8) = 35/16

    Now rewrite the improper fraction as a proper fraction:

    2 3/16 which would be $2.19
