Answer:
3 meters
63 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for his two breaks to occur after even distances, simply divide his total path in three:
[tex]B = \frac{9}{3}\\ B=3\ meters[/tex]
He will reach his first break after 3 meters.
If he can only take 9 pieces at a time the number of trips required is:
[tex]n=\frac{36}{9}\\ n=4[/tex]
Note that he will have to back to the back yard for the first three trips (traveling back the 9 meters path). The total distance traveled is:
[tex]d= 3*(9+9)+9\\d=63\ meters[/tex]
He will travel 63 meters.
