Step-by-step explanation:
The overbar on decimal digits means they repeat forever.
Any fraction with a denominator consisting of powers of 2 and/or 5 will terminate. These can be converted to decimal by multiplying the fraction by a number to make the denominator an appropriate power of ten.
1 2/3 = 1.66666666666... repeating
1 3/5 = 1 (3·2)/(5·2) = 1 6/10 = 1.6
1 1/4 = 1 (1·25)/(4·25) = 1 25/100 = 1.25
1 33/50 = 1 (33·2)/(50·2) = 1 66/100 = 1.66
Of course, your calculator can tell you the decimal equivalents, too.
Let us calculate the area of the walk.
Since the width of the walk is 3 feet, and the walk will be placed all the 4 sides,
Length of the plot including walk = 20 + (2 × 3) = 20 + 6 = 26 feet.
Breadth of the plot including walk = 30 + (2 × 3) = 36 feet.
Area of the plot including walk = 26 × 36 square feet.
Area of the plot = 20 × 30 square feet.
Area of the walk = (26 × 36) - (20 × 30)
= 936 - 600
= 336 square feet.
= square yards
= 37.3 square yards
Cost of the walk per square yard = $12.25.
Therefore, total cost of the walk = 12.25 × 37.3 = $456.92.
