Question

Gabrielle wants to put a border around her garden. It costs $1.50 per yard for the materials. Use 1.50(2l+2w)
, where l
is the length and w
is the width of her garden, to find the cost for a garden that has a length of 4 yards and a width of 3 yards.(1 point)

Answer 1

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

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

Given that the length \( l \) is 4 yards and the width \( w \) is 3 yards, we can substitute these values into the formula:

1. Calculate \( 2l + 2w \): \[ 2l + 2w = 2(4) + 2(3) = 8 + 6 = 14 \]

2. Now multiply by the cost per yard: \[ \text{Cost} = 1.50 \times 14 = 21.00 \]

Therefore, the cost for the border around Gabrielle's garden is $21.00.
