Mr. Rodriguez has a vegetable garden that borders his house. He wants to put a fence around it. It costs $7 per yard for the materials. Evaluate 7(l + 2w) , where l is the length and w is the width of his garden, to find the cost for a garden that has a length of 5 yards and a width of 2 yards.(1 point) Responses
To find the cost of the fence for Mr. Rodriguez's garden, we need to plug in the given length (l) and width (w) into the expression 7(l + 2w) and then evaluate.
Given that the length l = 5 yards and the width w = 2 yards, let's plug these values into the expression:
Cost = 7(l + 2w)
Cost = 7(5 + 2*2)
Now let's calculate the value inside the parentheses:
Cost = 7(5 + 4)
Cost = 7(9)
Then we will multiply by 7 to find the total cost:
Cost = 63
So, the cost to put a fence around Mr. Rodriguez's garden is $63.
