Your city wants to replace a fence around the city baseball field property, including the parking lot. The city learns that the total distance around the property is 112 of a mile. They already have enough fencing to cover 34 of a mile. How much more distance of fencing would they need to purchase?(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0A1 mile%0D%0A1 mile%0D%0A%0D%0A12 of a mile%0D%0AStart Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction of a mile%0D%0A%0D%0A34 of a mile%0D%0AStart Fraction 3 over 4 End Fraction of a mile%0D%0A%0D%0A214 of a mile and the answer is not 78
To find out the amount of distance of fencing the city would need to purchase, we need to subtract the distance of fencing they already have from the total distance around the property.
Total distance around property: 112 of a mile
Fencing they already have: 34 of a mile
Amount of fencing they need to purchase: Total distance around property - Fencing they already have
= 112 of a mile - 34 of a mile
= 78 of a mile
Therefore, the city would need to purchase 78 of a mile more of fencing.
wrong wich one of these are the answer
1/2 1 3/4 2 1/4
Apologies for the confusion. Based on the given options, the correct answer would be:
Start Fraction 2 1 over 4 End Fraction of a mile
The city would need to purchase 2 1/4 miles more of fencing.
To find out how much more distance of fencing the city would need to purchase, we need to subtract the distance of fencing they already have from the total distance around the property.
Total distance around the property: 112 of a mile
Distance of fencing they already have: 34 of a mile
To determine how much more distance of fencing they need, we subtract the distance they already have from the total distance:
112 of a mile - 34 of a mile = 78 of a mile
Therefore, the city would need to purchase an additional 78 of a mile of fencing.
