The proportion to solve for the entire cost of fence is 29 / 3 meters = entire cost / x meters (or) entire cost = (29 × x meters) / 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
- Cost of 3 meters of fence = $29.
- Let, the entire fence be 'x' meters.
Therefore, the cost of entire fence is calculated by comparing the given data.
29 / 3 meters = entire cost / x meters
To find the entire cost :
The proportion is given by,
29/3 = entire cost / x
entire cost = (29 × x meters) / 3
The above proportion must be solved to find the entire cost of fence.
