Final answer:
To calculate the fencing cost, convert 88 feet to yards by dividing by 3, resulting in approximately 29.33 yards, then multiply it by the cost per yard, $14.11, to get a total cost of approximately $413.94.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the cost of materials for a fence when 88 feet are needed, and the fencing costs $14.11 per yard, we first need to convert feet to yards because the cost is given per yard. There are 3 feet in a yard, so we divide the total feet by 3 to get the total yards required for the fence. Using the conversion of feet to yards outlined in your examples, we get:
88 feet ÷ 3 feet/yard = 29.33 yards (approximately)
Now, to find the cost, we multiply the number of yards needed by the cost per yard:
29.33 yards × $14.11/yard = $413.94 (approximately)
Thus, it will cost approximately $413.94 to purchase the materials for the fence.
