For this problem you need to find the area.
To find area, you multiply the width by the length.
You multiply 12 1/2 by 5 1/2 and you get 31 1/4
This is how you do it::
= 25/2 × 5/2
= (25 × 5) / (2 × 2)
= 125/4
= 125/4
<span>= 31 1/4
So you know that the area is 31 1/4 yards.
In the question it asks HOW MANY FEET so we have to convert 31 1/4 yards to feet.
1 yard= 3 feet
31 1/4 *3= </span><span>93.75
<span>John need to buy 93.75 feet of fencing to enclose the area.</span></span>
Answer:
C. 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the two equations:

To find:
The correct option when value of y is substituted to 2nd equation using the 1st equation.
Solution:
First of all, let us learn about the substitution method.
Substitution method is the method to provide solutions to two variables when we have two equations and two variables.
In substitution method, we find the value of one variable in terms of the other variable and put this value in the other equation.
Now, the other equation becomes only single variable and then we solve for the variable's value.
Here, we have two equations and value of one varible is:

Let us put value of y in 2nd equation:

So, the correct answer is option C. 
He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.
Hope this helps
