Yes because you only need to look at the first decimal for problems like these and the first number you see a seven and a one and seven is greater than one
The perimeter of a square is the sum of its sides and they
are all equal, so to obtain the length of each of them we divide the perimeter
of the first fence between 4:
P1= 64 feet/4 sides
P1= 16 feet
Then, the length of each side of the second fence will
increase 2 feet at each end, as shown in the figure. We have then that the
perimeter of the second fence is:
P2 = 20 feet x 4 sides
P2 = 80 feet
The sum of the perimeters of both fences is:
PT = P1 + P2
PT = 64 feet + 80 feet
PT = 144 feet
Total cost = 1.17 $ x 144 feet
Total cost = 168.48 $
The total cost of the fences was $ 168.48
Answer:
15x + 40 = 115
We set the equation to 115 because the total cost is $115.
We add the "+ 40" because of the $40 to rent the trailer for the day.
The 15x is because it represents the miles per hour (x) times the number of hours.
The number of hours times the charge per mile, plus the $40 to rent it, will equal $115.
Hope this helps!!
