Hello!
We don't need to find the exact perimeter of the fencing, just an estimate.
We will round 12 ft 3 in to 12 ft, because it is closer to 12 ft than 13 ft.
We will also round 8 ft 11 in to 9 ft because there are 12 inches in a foot, which makes 9 ft closer.
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2l × 2w
The length is about 12 feet and the width is about 9 feet.
Substitute the length and width:
P = 2(12) + 2(9)
Solve:
P = 24 + 18
P = 42
Jose will need about 42 feet of fencing.
Answer:
<em>24</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
1 hour and 36 minutes = 60 minutes + 36 minutes = 96 minutes
6/24 = x/96
24x = 6 * 96
24x = 6 * 4 * 24
x = 24
