Question

He measures and determines that he needs 24 feet of fencing. When he arrives at home improvement store, he realized fencing is priced at $0.25 per inch how much will it cost to fence it

Answer 1

It will cost 72 dollars to fence the perimeter

Explanation:

First of all, we will have to make sure that we are working with the same units.

To do this, we will have to convert our units which are given in feet to inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

24 feet = 288 inches.

We now have the total length of what he needs to be 288 inches.

The fence costs 0.25 dollars per inch.

Therefore 288 inches will cost 0.25 X 288 = $ 72
