Verified Answer :

i think a .$1,925 . because fencing is expensive or costs a lot of money.

Answer:

The answer is the option D

\(\$1,425\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert mixed numbers to an improper fractions

\(75\frac{1}{2}=\frac{75*2+1}{2}=\frac{151}{2}\ ft\)

\(50\frac{1}{6}=\frac{50*6+1}{6}=\frac{301}{6}\ ft\)

\(39\frac{1}{3}=\frac{39*3+1}{3}=\frac{118}{3}\ ft\)

Find the perimeter of the figure

\(P=120+\frac{118}{3}+\frac{151}{2}+\frac{301}{6}\)

\(P=\frac{120*6+118*2+151*3+301}{6}\)

\(P=\frac{1,710}{6}\ ft\)

Multiply the perimeter by the fencing cost per foot

so

\(\frac{1,710}{6}*5=\$1,425\)
