The answer is 5/4 in
The initial length:
1 ft = 12 in
8 ft = 8 * 12 in
= 96 in
The final length:
7 ft 10 3/4 in = 7 ft + 10 in + 3/4 in
= 7 * 12 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
= 84 in + 10 in + 3/4 in
= 94 in + 3/4 in
The cut if the initial length - final length:
96 in - 94 in - 3/4 in = 2 in - 3/4 in = 8/4 in - 3/4 in = 5/4 in
We know that the fence is 52 <em>feet</em> long, but since it's sold in yards, we need to somehow convert feet to yards.
First, we need to find a little something called a conversion factor. Basically, we need to see what we can do to get from <em>one foot</em> to <em>one yard</em>.
Well, how many feet are there in a yard? <em><u>3.</u></em><u /><u /> So now we know that <em><u>one foot is 1/3 of a yard.</u>
</em>
So to convert 52ft to yards, we need to divide by 3. What's 52 divided by 3?
17.33.
Now we just need to multiply that by 10.99 so that we can find out the cost.
We get 190.45. That's your answer!
It all cost <em>$190.45
