How much fencing does Farmer Gump need?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Agata [3.3K]3 years ago
4 0

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.

3x+7y=-1 and 4x-3y=11 solve by elimination/linear combination
ira [324]
Solution:

1) Solve for x in 3x+7y=-1
x=\frac{-1-7y}{3}

2) Substitute x=\frac{-1-7y}{3} into 4x-3y=11
\frac{4(-1-7y)}{3}-3y=11

3) Solve for y in \frac{4(-1-7y)}{3}-3y=11
y=-1

4) Substitute y=-1 into x=\frac{-1-7y}{3}
x=2

5) Therefore,
x=2
y=-1

Done!

A group of 80 students in a college are surveyed. They are asked which of Spanish or French they are studying. a) complete the V
Rudik [331]

Answer:

a) Find attached the completed Venn diagram (2nd diagram)

b) 25

c) 46

A related Question found at brainly (ID 16765143):

A group of 80 students in a college are surveyed. They are asked which of Spanish or French they are studying. 71 of the students surveyed studies at least one of the two languages.

a) Complete the Venn diagram.

b) How many students study only french?

c) How many students study Spanish?

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached the Venn diagram (1st diagram)

a) Total number of students in college = 80

Since 71 out of the 80 students surveyed studies at least one of the two languages, the number of students that studied neither French nor Spanish = 80-71 = 9

From the venn diagram:

Number of students that study Spanish = 14

Number of students that study French = 25

We need to determine if the values are for Spanish only and French only respectively or for at least Spanish and French respectively.

Estimated value for the middle term = 80-(14+25+9) = 32

From the above calculation, the number of students that study both Spanish and French is 32 and it is more than each set value. This implies the value given in the Venn diagram is for Spanish only and French only respectively.

Let number of students that study both Spanish and French = x

Spanish only = 14

French only = 25

the number of students that studied neither French nor Spanish = 9

Total:

14 + 25 + x + 9 = 80

48 + x = 80

x = Number of students that study both Spanish and French = 32

b) French only = 25

c) Number of  students that study Spanish = students that study at least Spanish

= 14+x = 14+32

Number of  students that study Spanish = 46

What is a Translation?​
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The displacement of a figure or a shape from one place to another is called translation, which means a figure can be moved upward, downward, left, right, or anywhere in the coordinate system using translation. While translating, all the points will shift by the same number of units.
