Question

The length of a garden is 51 1/3 feet. one section of fencing is 2 2/3 feet long. how many sections of fencing are needed along the length of the garden

Answer 1

To determine the number of sections that are needed along the length of the garden, we just have to divide 51 1/3 feet by 2 2/3 feet. Mathematically,
(51 1/3 feet) / (2 2/3 feet) = 19.25
Thus, 19.25 sections of fencing are needed for the garden.
