For this problem you need to find the area.
To find area, you multiply the width by the length.
You multiply 12 1/2 by 5 1/2 and you get 31 1/4
This is how you do it::

= 25/2 × 5/2

= (25 × 5) / (2 × 2)

= 125/4

= 125/4

<span>= 31 1/4

So you know that the area is 31 1/4 yards. 
In the question it asks HOW MANY FEET so we have to convert 31 1/4 yards to feet. 
1 yard= 3 feet
31 1/4 *3= </span><span>93.75
John need to buy 93.75 feet of fencing to enclose the area.
