Answer:

4 sections can be installed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fence space for the fence in front of the house = 30 feet

Each fence section measures = 4.5 feet wide

let the numbers of sections installed = x

Then measure of fence covered by the sections = 4.5x feet

At each end of the section a piece of decorative piece measure= 1.75 feet wide

If x sections are installed then number of decorative pieces required will be same as x.

Therefore, length of decorative pieces = 1.75x feet

Now the total length of fence = Length of sections installed + Length of decorative pieces

4.5x + 1.75x = 30

6.25x = 30

x = \frac{30}{6.25}

x = 4.8

Since number of sections can not be in the fraction or decimals so maximum 4 sections can be installed.

Since, each side of the fence should have the 1 3/4 feet wide decorative piece, the width of the fence should be subtracted by 2 pieces (1 3/4 feet)
                                 = 26.5 feet
Then, divide the remaining width by 4.5 feet and the answer is 5.88. Thus, approximately 5 pieces of the 4 1/2 feet should be installed.

14 kg of apples cost $154.how much would 16kg cost
ankoles [38]
We can set up a proportion, and let x be the amount 16kg would cost: 14/154=16/x. We simplify 14/154 = 1/11. Next, we cross-multiply to get (1)(x)=(16)(11), so x=176. Therefore, 16kg of apples cost $176.
