Answer:
Fraction of the original board left = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the board is = l feet
Marty saws off
of a wooden board.
Length of the board left = l - 
=
feet
He saws off
of the remaining board,
Board left = ![(\frac{4}{5})l-[(\frac{4}{5})l\times (\frac{3}{4})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B5%7D%29l-%5B%28%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B5%7D%29l%5Ctimes%20%28%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%29%5D)
= 
=
feet
He finally saws off
rd of the remaining board.
Board left = ![\frac{1}{5}l-[\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{1}{3}]l](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7Dl-%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5Dl)
= 
=
feet
Fraction of the original board left = 
= 
The dimensions given when you have a triangle is the base and height of the triangle. The formula for the area is
A = 0.5bh
The unknown here is h. We can determine that from the cost of mulch that covers the whole area of the triangle. The equation would be:
4A = 33
Substituting A = 0.5*5.5*h = 2.75h to the equation:
4(2.75h) = 33
11h = 33
h = 33/11
h = 3 feet
The answer is 77 but i don't see it as an option here ;/
