Terri wants to put a fence around her tomato plants to keep the rabbits out. The hardware store only sells fencing in five-foot increments. How much wire does she need to buy to go around all of the plants if the area they cover is 150 feet squared?

Answer: 30 increments

Step-by-step explanation: 150 divided by 5 is equal to 30. If she is buying in 5 foot increments she will need 30 five foot increments to have enough.
