Question

Ishmael has 80 feet of fencing material. He is building a rectangular garden behind his house. The ratio of the length of the garden to its width will be . How wide can he build his garden with the amount of fencing that he has?

The garden can be
feet wide.

Answer 1

Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount we have is 80 feet, so basically we need to find a width that is under the width. That makes it easier for me saying that the width cant be anything over 40. We also need to make sure that we don't use material that we don't have also.  so that makes it to anything smaller then 20.

P.S- This is probably wrong; it's just my guess.
