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 around Gabrielle’s garden using the formula \(1.50(2l + 2w)\), we first need to substitute the length \(l\) and width \(w\) into the formula.

Given:

• Length \(l = 4\) yards
• Width \(w = 3\) yards

Now substitute these values into the formula:

\[ 1.50(2l + 2w) = 1.50(2(4) + 2(3)) \]

Now calculate \(2(4)\) and \(2(3)\):

\[ 2(4) = 8 \] \[ 2(3) = 6 \]

Now, add these two results together:

\[ 8 + 6 = 14 \]

Now substitute back into the formula:

\[ 1.50(14) = 21 \]

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