Question

Aaron is building a fence with boards that are a 3 7/8 inches wide, as shown in the figure. His fence will be 120 feet long, and each board costs $3.35. What is a good estimate of the total price of the boards he is using?

Answer 1

Answer: $1,244.89

Explanation:

the fence is 120ft and there is 12 inches in a foot so 12x120= 1,440in

1,440 / (3 + 7/8) = 371.61 fences

371.61 x $3.35 = 1,244.89
