Question

If 3 meters of fence cost 29$, how much would it cost lateisha to build the entire fence around her yard? write a proportion to solve

Answer 1

The proportion to solve for the entire cost of fence is 29 / 3 meters = entire cost / x meters (or) entire cost = (29 × x meters) / 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

• Cost of 3 meters of fence = $29.
• Let, the entire fence be 'x' meters.

Therefore, the cost of entire fence is calculated by comparing the given data.

29 / 3 meters = entire cost / x meters

To find the entire cost :

The proportion is given by,

29/3 = entire cost / x

entire cost = (29 × x meters) / 3

The above proportion must be solved to find the entire cost of fence.
