Since we know the length is 3 feet, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle (P = 2L + 2W) to find the width.
Given that P is 24 feet and L is 3 feet, we can substitute those values into the formula and solve for W:
24 = 2(3) + 2W
24 = 6 + 2W
18 = 2W
W = 9
So, the width needs to be 9 feet for the garden to work.
