Question

Fencing costs $10 per foot. Frances had a rectangular garden that is 4 feet wide and 5 feet long. How much money will Frances need to spend to put fence around the garden?

Answer 1

$180

Explanation:

1. Find the perimeter: 2w + 2L

2(4) = 8 + 2(5) = 10

8 + 10 = 18 feet of fencing

2. multiply the cost per foot (10) by the number of feet (18)

10*18 = 180
