A square garden has sides that are 16 yards long. Fencing costs $7.00 per yard. How much would it cost to put a fence around the garden?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the garden is 4 times the length of one side:

16 x 4 = 64 yards

To find the cost, multiply the perimeter by the cost per yard:

64 x $7.00 = $448

It would cost $448 to put a fence around the garden.
