Answer 1

To find the cost of the fence around the garden, we need to determine the perimeter of the garden. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangular garden is P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width.

Given that the length of the garden is 5 yards and the width is 2 yards, we can substitute these values into the formula:

P = 2(5) + 2(2)
P = 10 + 4
P = 14 yards

Next, we need to find the cost of the fence materials, which is $7 per yard of perimeter. We can multiply the perimeter (14 yards) by $7:

Cost = 7 * 14
Cost = $98

Therefore, the correct answer is $98.

Answer 2

I just took the test and the answer is $63 because in the order of operations, multiplication comes before addition.
