First, we need to convert the dimensions of the playground from feet to yards since the cost of fencing is given in yards.
500 feet = 166.67 yards
100 feet = 33.33 yards
To find the total amount of fencing needed, we need to add up all four sides of the rectangle:
166.67 + 166.67 + 33.33 + 33.33 = 400 yards
Now we can find the total cost of the fencing:
400 yards x $11/yard = $4,400
Therefore, it will cost $4,400 to place fencing around the playground.
A school playground is in the shape of a rectangle 500
feet long and 100
feet wide. If fencing costs $ 11
per yard, what will it cost to place fencing around the playground
