Question

Marcus is building a fence around his rectangular backyard. The length of his backyard is

75
3/4

ft, and the width is
81
1/4

ft. If the fence is
3/4

finished, how much fencing is left to complete?

Answer 1

Answer:235.5

Explanation:

75 3/4= 75.75 (L). 81 1/4= 81.25 (W)

Perimeter= 314 3/4 of 314 is 235.5

Answer 2

4,923.75ft²

Explanation:

The area of the backyard = Length * width \

Area of the backyard = 75 3/4 * 81 1/4

Area of the backyard = 303/4 * 325/4

Area of the backyard = 6,154.6875ft²

If 3/4 of the fence is finished, the area of the finished part is expressed as;

Finished part = 1/5 * 6,154.6875

Finished part = 1,230.9375ft²

Part left unfinished = 6,154.6875-1,230.9375

Part left unfinished = 4,923.75ft²
