Question

A landscaper is designing a circular fountain with a diameter of 36 feet. If the landscaper uses flexible fencing pieces that are each 1.5 feet long, approximately how many pieces of fencing will be needed for the circumference of the fountain?

answer choices

38

76

151

678

Answer 1

Circumference = diameter x pi

Circumference = 36 x 3.14 = 113 feet

Divide circumference by length of fence piece:

113/1.5 = 75.36 = 76 pieces are needed.
