Vera is planning on using exactly 112ft of fencing as a border of a rectangular garden. If the width of the garden is 1/3 of the length of the garden, what is the width of the garden

Question

I need to show some work

Answer 1

Call the width w, then the length is 3w . The perimeter is then 2(w) + 2(3w) = 8w which is equal to 112

so 8w = 112 w=14 ft length = 42 ft
