Answer:

The amount Frances will spend to put a fence around his garden is $180

Explanation:

Fencing per foot is $10

To how the size of the total fence, we used the perimeter of a rectangle to get that which is 2(l + w)

where l and w are the length and width respectively

l = 5 feet, w = 4 feet

p = 2(5 + 4)

p = 2(9)

p = 18 feet

The cost of fencing 18 feet will be

18 × $10 = $180
