3 feet is equal to 1 yard and 3 feet is 36 inches. 288 inches divided by 36 is 8 so 8 yards is equal to 288 inches.
The complete question is
A fence must be built to enclose a rectangular area of 5000ft^2. Fencing material costs $1 per foot for the two sides facing north and south and 2$ per foot for the other two sides. Find the cost of the least expensive fence.
Answer:
Total cost will be $400
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = be other side
y = north and south side
Area = x*y = 5000
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2x + 2y
cost of fencing = 2(1)*5000/x + 2*2x
= 10000/x + 4x
now to get the least we will take the derivative of this
C'(x) = 10000(-1/x^2) + 4 =0
x^2 = 2500
x= 50ft cost = 2*$2*50 = $200
y= 100ft cost = 2*$1*100 = $200
Total cost = $400
Answer:
1 5/8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Min:
2+3=5, 3/8+1/8=4/8
5 4/8 miles
Jessica:
1+2=3, 5/8+2/8=7/8
3 7/8 miles
5 4/8- 3 7/8= 1 5/8 miles
(50x100):40=125
answer:125
