    In order to find the scale they are using first you must divide 12 by 3.75.

    But since we get to estimate, the 3.75 will be made into a 4 because it's the whole number closest to 3.75.

    12/4=3

    Take your 3 inch scale and multiply it by 3 (we are using 3 instead of 2.8 because it's a whole number) to get the real life fence size.

    3x3=9

    The fence is about 9 feet.
