Answer:
$31.85
Step-by-step explanation:
total cost of the rafters = total length of rafters used x cost per foot
total length of rafters used = number of rafters used x length of rafters
7 x [tex]6\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
to solve, convert [tex]6\frac{1}{2}[/tex] to an improper fraction
to convert to improper fraction, take the following steps :
1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator
2. Add the numerator to the answer gotten in the previous step
3. divide the number gotten in the previous step by the denominator
7 x [tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{91}{2}[/tex]
cost per foot = 70 cents
100 cents = 1 dollar
70 cents = $0.70
total cost of rafters = $0.70 x [tex]\frac{91}{2}[/tex] = $31.85
