Answer 2

Answer: You will spend $396 on wood to enclose your garden.

Explanation:

To find out how much you will spend on wood to enclose your garden, you need to calculate the cost based on the area of your garden and the cost per square foot of wood.

Given:

Area of the garden = 144 square feet

Cost of wood per square foot = $2.75

Now, you can calculate the total cost by multiplying the area by the cost per square foot:

Total cost = Area of the garden × Cost per square foot

Total cost = 144 square feet × $2.75/square foot

Total cost = $396

So, you will spend $396 on wood to enclose your garden.
