If the width of the garden is w, then the maximum area available is a square, giving you w² as the dimensions. So:
w²=-w²+28w
2w²=28w
w=14
The perimeter is 14 x 4, or 56 feet
How many seed packets??? No idea

900 x 8= 7200 is your answer
Let Brian's steps have a measure of 1, and Richard's steps have a measure of k. Then after each walks 5 steps away from the other, their distance apart is
... 5 + 5k
We are told that distance is equal to 9 of Richard's steps, so is equal to 9k.
... 5 + 5k = 9k
... 5 = 4k . . . . . . . subtract 5k
... 5/4 = k . . . . . . divide by 4
Richard's steps are 5/4 the size of Brian's steps. The appropriate selection is
... b) 5/4
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
He read 1/3 of the book on the second day
He didn't finish the book in two days.
<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>
Lets find 3/5 of 5/9
If we said, find 3/5 of x, the answer would be 3/5x.
3/5*x = 3/5x
In the same way, 
He read 1/3 of the book on the second day
Does 5/9 + 1/3 equal to 1?
1/3 = 3/9
5/9 + 3/9 = 8/9
He didn't finish the book in two days.
Hope this helps :)
Have a nice day!
