Question

A FARMER WANTS TO BUILD A FENCE TO ENCLOSE A TRIANGULAR FIELD THAT IS 180 FEET ON EACH SIDE. FENCE POST COST $8.00 EACH. IF HE IS GOING TO PUT A POST IN EACH CORNER AND A POST EVERY 6 FEET ALONG EACH SIDE, HOW MUCH WILL THE FARMER SPEND ON FENCE POSTS?

Answer 1

First you would divide 180 by6

Then you would take that and multiply by the cost

180/6=30

30*8.00=$240
