Answer
Final Answer: The cost of $1 \frac{1}{2}$ dozen pencils is \(\boxed{\$1.08}\).
Step 1 ：First, we need to find the cost of one pencil. Given that 4 pencils cost 24 cents, we can calculate the cost of one pencil as \(\frac{24}{4} = 6\) cents.
Step 2 ：Next, we need to find the cost of $1 \frac{1}{2}$ dozen pencils. Since one dozen is 12 pencils, $1 \frac{1}{2}$ dozen is \(1.5 \times 12 = 18\) pencils.
Step 3 ：Finally, we multiply the cost of one pencil by the number of pencils to find the total cost. So, the total cost is \(18 \times 6 = 108\) cents, or \$1.08.
Step 4 ：Final Answer: The cost of $1 \frac{1}{2}$ dozen pencils is \(\boxed{\$1.08}\).
