The absolute value is how far away a number is from the number line, so it is always positive. If Carlos finds the opposite of the absolute value, that means he found the negative version. So Jason's final value will be greater.
Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle is x by y and let the side enclosed by a house be one of the sides measuring x, then the sides that is to be enclosed are two sides measuring y and one side measuring x.
Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by
P = x + 2y
The area of the rectangle is given by xy,
i.e.

Substituting for y into the equation for the length of fencing needed, we have

For the amount of fencing to be minimum, then

Now, recall that

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by
P = x + 2y = 24 + 2(12) = 24 + 24 = 48.
Therefore, 48 feets of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:
1.20÷10=0.12
0.12×4=0.48
Given the information from the study, the average soil saturation for the county last year is 1.2 times the saturation reported for the Northwest part of the county this year.
<span>Also, the average soil saturation for the county last year is 0.25 of the saturation reported for the Southeast part of the county this year.</span>
