Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is A, 86 sections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one : Add the 130 feet on to the 300 feet to find the new length of the fence.

130 + 300 = 430

Step two : find how many 5 foot sections he has now, divide 430 by 5.

430/5 = 86

Mr. Jackson can divide the new fence into 86 5-foot sections.

The answer is A, 86 sections.
