One side of the back yard is usually the back side of the house.
But we won't worry about that ... we'll just go ahead and fence all
four sides, like you seem to have said.
Any rectangle has two sides that are the length and two sides that are the width.
So the distance around the back yard is
(14 + 14) + (12 + 12) = 52 meters.
(That's called the "perimeter" of the yard.)
If every meter of fence costs $9.00 , then 52 meters of fence will cost
(52) times ($9.00) = $468 . plus tax.
the answer is B 1.6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer:
x=3 y=1 is the answer if that is what you were looking for :)
Lets write down what we know...
Laura walks 3/5 mile to school everyday
Laura=3/5mile
Isaiah's walk is 3 times as long as Lauras, so
Isaiah=Laura*3
We know how far Lauras walk is so we can solve for Isaiah's walk
Isaiah=3/5*3 (or Isaiah=3/5+3/5+3/5 if thats easier for you to solve for)
Isaiah=9/5 miles
Now we know the answer! Great, Isaiah walks 9/5 miles to school each day. But 9/5 is an improper fraction, so lets convert it to a mixed number.
9/5=
To solve for this, we have to find out how many times 5 can go into 9. 5 goes into 9 one time with a remainder of 4, so we can write the mixed number as.
9/5= 1 4/5
Isaiah walks 9/5miles or 1 4/5 miles. Both are correct.
