Answer 1

To find the cost of the border around Gabrielle's garden, we can use the formula given:

\[ \text{Cost} = 1.50(2l + 2w) \]

where \( l \) is the length, and \( w \) is the width.

Plugging in the values \( l = 4 \) yards and \( w = 3 \) yards:

1. Calculate the perimeter:

\[ 2l + 2w = 2(4) + 2(3) = 8 + 6 = 14 \text{ yards} \]

2. Now, substitute this back into the cost formula:

\[ \text{Cost} = 1.50(14) \]

3. Finally, calculate the total cost:

\[ \text{Cost} = 1.50 \times 14 = 21.00 \]

So, the total cost for the border around Gabrielle's garden is \($21.00\).
