Question

mark has 160 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular garden whose length is to be four times its width what will be the dimensions of the garden

Answer 1

perimeter = 2W+2L

Length = 4W

160 = 2W +2(4W)

160 = 10W

w = 160/10 = 16 yards

length = 16*4 = 64 yards

Check:

64*2 = 128, 16*2 = 32

128+32 = 160

Length = 64 yards, Width = 16 yards
