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.

<span>each group (fifth) has three balloons ___ four-fifths is twelve</span>
I think that the answer is 2, because if you multiply two by each factor in the original photograph then you get the size of the new photograph.
