Answer 2

Answer:

57.6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the sheep pen = 24 m

Cost of 1/2 metre of fencing = £1.20

Method one :

if the cost of 1/2 metre fencing is £1.20 ,

then cost of 1metre fencing is = £1.20×2

= £2.40

Hence, Cost of fencing = Perimeter of sheep pen (in metres) × Cost of 1 metre fencing

= 24×2.40

= £57.60

Method two :

Cost of fencing 1/2 metre = £1.20

Total cost of fencing = £1.20×24m ×2

= £28.80 ×2

= £56.70
