Fence posts are erected 5m apart (with a post at each corner) to support fencing round a rectangular field. If the field measures 100m by 60m, how many posts are needed?

64 poles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Fence posts are erected 5m apart (with a post at each corner) to support fencing round a rectangular field. If the field measures 100m by 60m, how many posts are needed?

Dimension of rectangular field = 100m by 60m

Length = 100m ; breadth = 60m

Since it is erected around the corners of the field, we need to calculate the entire perimeter of the rectangular field.

Perimeter of a rectangle : 2( length + breadth)

Perimeter = 2(100 +60) = 2(160) = 320m

Since the posts are erected 5m apart, the number of post needed will be :

Perimeter / 5

= 320 / 5

= 64 poles

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5

step-by-step explanation:

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
