6
9

Answer 1

To find the width of the garden, we need to use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is 2(Length + Width).

Given that the length of the garden is 3 feet and the total fencing available is 24 feet, we can set up the equation:
2(3 + Width) = 24

Simplifying the equation:
6 + 2Width = 24

Subtracting 6 from both sides:
2Width = 18

Dividing both sides by 2:
Width = 9

Therefore, the width of the garden needs to be 9 feet for it to work.
