Mathematics
1 answer:
Agata [3.3K]3 years ago

For the first field, he will need 40 m for the fence, this will cost £640 and he can have 10 sheep. For the second field, he will need 60 m for the fence, this will cost  £960 and he can have 12 sheep.

<h3>What does this problem require?</h3>

This problem requires you to calculate the perimeter and area of each field and based on this information you can find the total of the fence the farmer requires, the cost, and the number of sheep.

<h3>How to calculate the perimeter?</h3>

You can calculate the perimeter by adding all the sides.

  • Field 1: 10m + 10m + 10m + 10m = 40 m
  • Field 2: 25m + 5m + 25m + 5m = 60 m

<h3>How to calculate the area?</h3>

To calculate the area, multiply the height by the width.

  • Field 1: 10 x 10 = 100m2
  • Field 2: 25 x 5 = 125m2

<h3>How much fencing does the farmer need?</h3>

The fencing needed is equal to the perimeter.

  • Field 1: 40 m of fencing
  • Field 2: 60 m of fencing

<h3>How much will it cost?</h3>

Multiply the number of meters needed by the price per meter ( £16 per meter).

  • Field 1: 40m x  £16 per meter = £640
  • Field 2: 60 m x £16 per meter = £960

<h3>How many sheep can there be in each field?</h3>

To calculate this divide the area into the space required by each sheep (10m2).

  • Field 1: 100m2 / 10m2 = 10 sheep
  • Field 2: 125m2 /10m2 = 12 sheep

Note: This question is incomplete; here is the missing information:

Farmer Gump has two problems. His first problem is to work out how much fencing he needs to buy for his fields so his sheep don’t escape. His second problem is to work out how many sheep each field can hold—each sheep needs a minimum of 10m² of grass!

Sheep cost £65 each.

The fence is £16 per meter.

What’s 2(2a+ 3b - 4) if a=2 and b=3
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

2 ( 2a + 3b - 4)

Putting the value of a= 2 and b = 3 in the equation

2( 2(2) + 3(3) -4)

2 (4 + 9 -4)

2( 4 -4 + 9)

2 (0 + 9)

2 (9)

A bookshelf can hold a maximum of 45 books. Let b represents the number of books to be shelved. Which inequality represents how
leonid [27]
The number of books that can be shelved is 45. So then we know that the amount that need to be shelved <em>can</em> be 45, if the bookshelf had 0 books on it. This means that it can have the equal part of the inequality sign.

However, the amount of book that need to be shelved cannot <em>exceed</em> 45, so b must be less than 45.

Therefore, the answer must be D) b ≤ 45.
