The fewest number of symbols and characters can be obtained by multiplying the constant numbers with the constant numbers and variables with the variables.
a. The co efficients 5 and 7 are multiplied to get 35 and g is multiplied with h to get gh. So the answer is 35*gh. It can be further simpliefied into 35 gh
b. The co efficients 3,4 and 5 are multiplied to get 60 and m is multiplied with n to get mn. The answer is 60* mn. On further simplificaation we get 60 mn.
The fence is a 8x4 fence as they multiply up to 32 square feet and 8 is double 4. If you add 8+8+4+4 you will get 24. Then you multiply the perimeter (24) by 3 to get the final cost. This means that the final cost will be $72.00.
