Question

Bethany is making a rectangular fenced-in area for her rabbit in her yard. The area measures 4 3/4 feet wide by 2 yards long. What is the total length of fencing, in feet, that Bethany will need? (15 points and brainliest
A. 6 3/4
B. 10 3/4
C. 13 1/2
D. 21 1/2
D.

Answer 1

For this case we have that the width of the fence is a mixed number given by:

$4 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {16 + 3} {4} = \frac {19} {4}$

The length is 2 yards. By definition, 1 yard equals 3 feet. Then the length of the fence is 6 feet.

So, Bethany will need a total length of:

$\frac {19} {4} + 6 = \frac {19 + 24} {4} = \frac {43} {4} \ feet$

If we convert to a mixed number we have $10 \frac {3} {4}$
