<h3>Answer:</h3>

$40

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The perimeter of the garden has length ...

... P = 8 m + 12 m + 8 m + 12 m = 40 m

Since there is a post every 4 m, there will be a total of ...

... (40 m)/(4 m/post) = 10 post

The cost per post is $4, so the total cost is ...

... (10 post)×($4/post) = $40

_____

<em>Alternate solutions</em>

You can consider this several ways. One way is to look at the average cost per meter. Each $4 post is good for 4 m, so the cost of posts is ...

... ($4/post)/(4 m/post) = $1/m

Then the 40 m perimeter can be expected to require $40 in posts.

___

Another way to consider this is to count the posts (and/or cost) required on each side of the garden. An 8 m side will require 2 posts, so cost $8. A 12 m side will require 3 posts, so cost $12. The sum of the costs for the 4 sides is ...

... 2(8$ +$12) = $40

_____

<em>Comment on fence posts</em>

For a stand-alone fence of length 8 m, 3 posts of 4 m spacing (not 2) would be required: one at each end and one in the mddle.

Here, the sides don't stand alone. The end post of one side serves as the beginning post of the adjacent side. Hence, the total number of posts is simply the total number of 4 m sections.

The following table presents the time taken to review articles that were submitted for publication to a particular journal durin
belka [17]

A) Variance = 10.24

B) Standard Deviation = 3.2

One of the measurements of dispersion is the standard deviation, which is exclusively used for quantitative data. It aids in determining if the data's mean is a suitable measurement to reflect the core value.

TIME         FREQUENCY(f)  MIDPOINT(x)    d    d²     fd              fd²

0 - 0.9         43                          0.45             -3     9     -129            387

1.0 - 1.9         17                           1.45              -2    4     -34                68

2.0 - 2.9       19                            2.45             -1     1       -19               19

3.0 - 3.9        18                            3.45             0     0       0                  0

4.0 - 4.9        14                            4.45              1      1        14               14

5.0 -5.9         16                            5.45              2     4        32             64                            

∑f = 127                                                              

∑fd = -136  

∑fd² = 552

d = \frac{x - 3.45}{1}

Standard Deviation = \sqrt \frac{fd^{2} }{N} - \sqrt \frac{(fd)^{2} }{N} * i

\sqrt \frac{552}{127} -\sqrt (\frac{-136}{127})^{2}   * 1

√4.35 - √1.15

Standard Deviation = 3.2

(SD)² = (3.2)² = 10.24

Variance = 10.24

What is the value of this expression if h<br> = 8,j = -1, and k<br> =<br> -12
Rashid [163]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

\dfrac{j^3k}{h^0}

We need to find the value of this expression when h = 8, j = -1 and k = -12.

Put all the values in the given expression.

\dfrac{j^3k}{h^0}\\\\=\dfrac{(-1)^3\times (-12)}{(8)^0}\\\\=\dfrac{-1\times -12}{1}\\\\=12

So, the value of the given expression is 12.
