Question

Joey is creating a rectangular garden. The garden is 9 feet long and 7 feet wide.
Joey calculated he needs _feet of fencing to close in the garden and _ square feet of soil to cover the garden.

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of fencing needed to close in the garden, we add up all four sides of the rectangle:

9 + 7 + 9 + 7 = 32 feet

Therefore, Joey needs 32 feet of fencing to enclose the garden.

To calculate the amount of soil needed to cover the garden, we multiply the length and width of the garden:

9 feet x 7 feet = 63 square feet

Therefore, Joey needs 63 square feet of soil to cover the garden.
