Spring is here and I am planting a
flower garden. My garden is in the shape of a rectangle and
measures 3 feet on one side and 2 feet on the other side. If I
plant a flower every 6 inches beginning at the border, how many flower
plants will I need for my garden?
Hint: Draw a picture.
For 4th and 5th graders: Fencing sells for $4.98 per yard. What will it cost me to fence in my flower garden? You can assume that they will sell me the exact amount that I need (they will actually cut it to the required length).
