A proposed Oil pipeline will cross 16.8 miles of national forest the width of the land needed for the pipeline is 200 feet if the force service charges the oil company $32 per acre calculate the total cost
Solution
Conversion Required for Solving : 1 mile = 5280 feet and 1 acre = 43560 sq.ft
Area required for the pipeline = 16.8 x 5280 x 200 = 17740800 sq.ft.
Service cahnges rate = $32 per acre = $32 per 43560 sq.ft or $0.00073 per sq.ft
Total cost = $(17740800 x 0.00073) = $13032 and 73 cents ANSWER
