Answer:

$16,875

Explanation:

so we must take all of those to get how much fencing we need in total so we add all of those numbers leaving us with 1875 ft of fencing we need.

so if fencing costs $27 per yard we need to change the units

so there are 3 feet per yard so we divide 1875 by 3 leaving us with 625 yards of fencing

so now we multiply the 625 yards of fencing by the $27 per yard leaving us with $16,875 in total to spend for this farmer to fence his pasture for the horses

hope this helps! :))
