If anyone can help it would be great I have several word problems to solve
Julie is planning to make a garden in her backyard. The garden will be rectangular -32 feet on one side and 65 feet on the other side. In order to keep animals out of the garden, Julie will be building a wire fence to protect the garden. To prepare the soild in the garden, se will be treating the soil with a special fertilizer which prevents weeds and pests.
The wire fence can be purchased for $21.75 per yard (1 yard = 3 feet). You are not permitted to purchase a part of a yard.
She can purchase the fertilizer at a cose of $8.75 per gallon. Each gallon will treat 650 sq feet. The fertilizer is only available for sale by the gallon.
Perimeter = 2 (length + width)
Area = length x width
a. Compute the outside perimeter of the garden and determine how much the fire fence will cost. (show work)
Answer:
b. How much will she spend on the fertilizer? (show work)
Answer:
Thank you,
Rhonda
