Answer:

B. 8,800

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to first convert the perimeter to yards since the cost of the fence is given per yard.

1/4 mile = (1/4) x 5280 feet (1 mile = 5280 feet) = 1320 feet

1 yard = 3 feet

So, the perimeter of the work site is (1320/3) yards = 440 yards.

The cost of the fence is $20.00 per yard, so the total cost of the fence needed for the perimeter of the work site is:

Total cost = Cost per yard x Total yards

Total cost = $20.00 x 440

Total cost = $8,800.00

Therefore, the total cost of the fence needed for the perimeter of the work site is $8,800.00.
