Let's substitute the values of the length (l = 5 yards) and the width (w = 2 yards) into the expression 7(l + 2w) to find the cost of the fence.
7(l + 2w) = 7(5 + 2*2)
= 7(5 + 4)
= 7(9)
= 63
The cost for the fence around Mr. Rodriguez's vegetable garden, with the given dimensions, will be $63. Therefore, the correct answer is:
$63
