    There are 144 square inches in a square foot. .. so $2.40 divided by 144 = .0167

    Square foot is 12" x 12"= 144sq inches. $2.40 pr sq ft * 144 sq inches = .016 per sq inch.

    As a retired educator, I can tell you that everyone getting the same answer does not necessarily mean the answer is the right answer however in this case the same answer is the right answer.
