You have $4000 to enclose a rectangular piece of property with a fence. The fence costs $11 per foot. A scale drawing of the property has a length of 9 inches and a width of 7 inches. The scale is 1 in. : 12 ft. How much will it cost to enclose the property with the fence? Do you have enough money?

The scale perimeter would be 32 inches, so the actual perimeter 32x12=384 ft. Since each foot costs $11, the total cost would be 11x384= $4224, which is over your budget so you do not have enough money to build the fence.
