Answer:3/8 gallons of paint is needed to paint the entire fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the entire area of the fence that is to be painted.

If 1/4 of a gallon of paint is needed to paint 2/3 of a fence, it means that 1/4 of a gallon of paint is needed to paint 2x/3

The number of gallons needed to paint the entire fence would be

(x/4)/(2x/3) = x/4 × 3/2x = 3/8 gallons

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{paint}{gallons}&fence\\ \cline{1-2} \\\frac{1}{4}&\frac{2}{3}\\\\ x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{4}~~}{x}=\cfrac{~~\frac{2}{3}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{4}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{4x}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies 3=8x\implies \cfrac{3}{8}=x

Find the surface area of the composite solid and round to the nearest tenth. Explain your answer.
Orlov [11]
Well, notice the composite is really just 4 triangles atop sitting on top of 4 rectangles, and all of them area stacked up at the edges.

so, for the rectangle's sides,

front and back are two 6x3 rectangles

left and right are two 6x3 rectangles

the bottom part is a 6x6 rectangle

now, we don't include the 6x6 rectangle that's touching the triangles, because that's inside area, and is not SURFACE area, so we nevermind that one.

now, the triangles are just four triangles with a base of 6, and a height of 4, in red noted there.

so, just get the area of all those rectangles and the triangles, sum them up and that's the surface area of the composite,

\bf \stackrel{lateral~rectangles}{4(6\cdot 3)}~~+~~\stackrel{bottom~rectangle}{(6\cdot 6)}~~+~~\stackrel{triangles}{4\left( \cfrac{1}{2}(6)(4) \right)}
