You can put this solution on YOUR website!
12 inches = 1foot
1yard = 3feet
6yards = 18feet
Rerange the question:
If edging cost $2.32 per 1foot stone, and you want a double layer of edging around your flower bed that is 18feet by 3feet. How much will edging you flower bed cost?
Perimter:
2(18+3)=42
And since you want to double it; double the perimeter too.
42(2)=84

2.32(84)=194.88
Hence, the edging will cost $194.88 in feet.
