To find the width of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is P = 2L + 2W, where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width.
Given that the length is 3 feet and the perimeter is 24 feet, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the width:
24 = 2(3) + 2W
24 = 6 + 2W
2W = 24 - 6
2W = 18
W = 18/2
W = 9
Therefore, the width needs to be 9 feet for the garden to have a length of 3 feet and a perimeter of 24 feet.
