Answer:
The iron weighed 1/12 pound more than the aluminum.
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight of the aluminum is given as 1/2 pound. But that can also be written as 6/12 pound.
This is a subtraction problem (subtracting fractions...so also a common denominator problem)
In order to subtract fractions you have to get a common denominator.
7/12 - 1/2
= 7/12 - 6/12
= 1/12
The iron is 1/12 pound heavier than the aluminum.
Let width = x ft then
2x + 2(2x) = 42
6x = 42
x = 7
so the width is 7 ft and length is 14 ft.
So the cost to build the pen = 14*1.25 + 14*1,25 + 7*2.50 + 7*2.50
= 70 answer
