Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. Mark wants to fence 4 rectangular gardens, each with a length of 9 1/4 feet and a width of 4 1/2 feet. What is the total length of fencing Mark needs to surround all 4 gardens?

Answer 1

16 meters 32 sections Did it

Answer 2

total length of fencing: 110 feet

Find the perimeter of one garden:

`\sf 2 ( length + width )`

`\sf 2 ( 9(1)/(4) + 4(1)/(2) )`

`\sf 2 ( (37)/(4) + (9)/(2) )`

`\sf 2 ( (37)/(4) + (18)/(4) )`

`\sf 2 ( (37+18)/(4) )`

`\sf 2 ( (55)/(4) )`

`\sf ( (55)/(2) )`

`\sf 27.5 \ feet`

Then 4 rectangular gardens:

`\sf 4 (27.5) \ feet`

`\sf 110 \ feet`
