The frogs want to build a 52-foot-by-66-foot fence around their arena using pre-made 6-foot and 8-foot fence sections.
Develop a shopping list of the possibilities for them to buy enough fence sections for all 4 sides.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

11 6-foot sections ideally suit for 66-feet longer side.

22 6-foot sections suit for the two 66-feet longer sides.


5 8-foot sections PLUS 2 6-feet sections ideally suit for 52-feet shorter side.
         (5*8 + 2*6 = 52 feet).

10 8-feet sections PLUS 4 6-feet sections ideally suit for the two 52-feet shorter side.
         

In all, they can buy (22 + 4) = 26 6-feet sections and 10 8-feet sections.


It will satisfy their needs.
