Question

Mr. James wants to build a walkway around his school garden. The width of his garden is one-third the length. The perimeter of the school garden is 32 feet. What is the length and width of his garden?

Answer 1

L=3W

2(3W+W)=32 feet

8W=32 feet

W=4 feet

L=3W

L=3* 4 feet

L=12 feet

The width is 4 feet, the length is 12 feet.
