Part 1.2· 2 steps
Determine the number of 5m rolls needed for of fencing.
Since you cannot buy a fraction of a roll, you must purchase 404 rolls to cover the entire length.
Calculate the total cost.
The final answer is .
Part 1.3
Assumption: The "Maximum space of 4.8cm" is a typo and should be , as is impractical for fence pole spacing. We will use spacing.
Calculate the number of intervals for the fence with spacing.
Determine the number of poles.
For a linear fence, the number of poles is the number of intervals rounded up, plus one for the starting pole.
The final answer is .
Part 1.4R35196.00
Calculate the cost if poles are bought in groups of 6 and individually for the remainder.
Total poles needed: 422.
Number of groups of 6:So, 70 groups of 6 poles will be bought, and 2 poles will be bought individually.
Cost for groups: .
Cost for individual poles: .
Total cost (groups + singles): .Calculate the cost if all poles are bought individually.
Compare the costs.
The cost of buying in groups and remaining singles () is less than buying all individually ().
The final answer is .
