Ellie wants to build a fence around her rectangular garden. The garden measures 100 ft by 50 ft.
a) What is the perimeter of the garden in feet? in yards?
a)
Perimeter of the garden in feet = 2(100 ft) + 2(50 ft) = 200 ft + 100 ft = 300 ft
To convert feet to yards, we know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore,
Perimeter of the garden in yards = 300 ft / 3 = 100 yards.
