Answer:

feet

Explanation:

Length of the flower bed
=15 feet.

Width of the flower bed is
(4)/(5) the length.

So, width
=(4)/(5)* 15=4* 3=12 feet.

To find the length of the fencing, we need to find the perimeter of the flower bed.

Perimeter of a rectangle
$=2(\textrm{length} + \textrm{width})$

So, perimeter of the flower bed
=2(15+12)=2* 27 = 54 feet.

Hence,
feet of fencing is required for the flower bed.
