She also wants to build a fence around the garden. How many feet of fence will she need to completely enclose the garden?

Answer 1

Answer: 10.5 feet + 10.5 feet + 7 feet + 7 feet = 35 feet

Explanation:

A. To find the number of square inches of soil needed to cover the entire garden, we can multiply the length and width of the garden in inches. The garden measures 126 inches by 84 inches, so the total number of square inches is:

126 inches * 84 inches = 10,584 square inches

This is the number of square inches of soil needed to cover the entire garden.

B. To find the number of feet of fence needed to completely enclose the garden, we can first convert the dimensions of the garden from inches to feet. The garden measures 126 inches by 84 inches, which is equivalent to 10.5 feet by 7 feet. The total length of the fence needed is the sum of the lengths of all four sides of the garden. The lengths of the sides are:

10.5 feet + 10.5 feet + 7 feet + 7 feet = 35 feet

This is the number of feet of fence needed to completely enclose the garden.
