joe is putting fence all aroung four sides of a rectangulr flower bed it is 6 feet wide and 4 feet long each section of the fence is 2 feet long how many sections of fencing will joe need

P = 2L + 2W

P = 12 * 8

P = 20

20 / 2 = ?

To find the total number of fence sections Joe will need, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular flower bed and divide it by the length of each fence section.

The formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

Given that the width of the flower bed is 6 feet and the length is 4 feet, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Perimeter = 2 * (4 + 6)
Perimeter = 2 * 10
Perimeter = 20 feet

Since each section of the fence is 2 feet long, we divide the perimeter by the length of each section:

Number of fence sections = Perimeter / Length of each section
Number of fence sections = 20 feet / 2 feet
Number of fence sections = 10

Joe will need 10 sections of fencing.
