Don gets $25 for whitewashing a fence. How many fences would he have to whitewash to earn a trip to camp that costs $165.00?

Respuesta :

You would need to divide 165 by 25

25 50 75 100 125 150 175

He would need to whitewash seven fences. Even though 25*7 = 175, its better to have more money then not enough and realistically you cant whitewash a fraction of a fence. 

Answer:

7 fences would he have to whitewash to earn a trip to camp that costs $165.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity as 1 such as 2 meter per seconds or 4 miles per hour.

As per the statement:

Don gets $25 for whitewashing a fence

⇒[tex]\text{Unit rate per fence} = \$ 25[/tex]

We have to find the fences would he have to whitewash to earn a trip to camp that costs $165.00.

[tex]\text{Number of fences} = \frac{165}{\text{Unit rate per fence}}[/tex]

Substitute the given values we have;

[tex]\text{Number of fences} = \frac{165}{25} = \frac{33}{5} = 6.6 \approx 7[/tex]

therefore, 7 fences would he have to whitewash to earn a trip to camp that costs $165.00
