Fiona has a patch of backyard behind her house in a meadow (she lives in the country). Seeing as the soup kitchen miles down the road is having some issues with the lack of vegetables to cook food for the poor, she decides to make the small rectangular patch of fertile soil into her own veggie garden. Fiona wants to measure the perimeter of her patch using a few rulers, but she only has yard sticks. Without any rulers to measure with, Fiona decides to use the yard sticks anyway, and begins to measure the plot of land. The length of the patch is 59 yard sticks long. The width is 24 yard sticks long. Using the concept of <em>1 yard = 3 feet</em>, find out how many feet are in the garden's perimeter. Write your answer down in words and another in a picture.
I hope you like this problem, and that you didn't rage over my long period of time typing this! Have a good night! :P
If something is placed the way these places are(directly NORTH and the park is SOUTH) all you have to do is add your two values, lining up your decimal points. 1.75 +.6 2.35 Let me know if this helps by making me your brainliest answer
To solve, make an equation. The equation would be x represents the miles driven to solve, subtract 4 from each side of the equation. $32-4 = 4-4 + 2x The equation is now $28 = 2x Now you divide by 2 on each side. $28 ÷ 2 = 2x ÷ 2 simplify 14 = x The answer is 14 miles
