Question

If 3 meters of fence cost 29$, how much would it cost latiesha to build the entire fence around her yard ? Write a proportion to solve

Answer 1

Answer:

9.67X

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of Letisha's yard be $X$ meters. We know that it costs $29 for every 3m length fence.

-To find the cost of fencing the entire yard, we divide the yards length by 3 meters then multiply by $29:

$3m=\ 29\\=>\frac{X}{3}m\times \ 29\\=\frac{29}{3}X$

Hence the cost of fencing her yard can be solved using the propotion

$9.67 X, where X is the total length of her yard.
