Question 208793: a garden has a fence around the perimeter and partition down the center. The length of the garden is 30 feet, the entire length of fencing is 37 yards, how long is the partition in feet?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 37 yards *(3ft/yd) =111 ft
.
with partition across short side of the garden,
.
total length = 2(30) + 2 w +w =111
.
60 +3w =111
.
3w =51
.
w=17 ft.,,,,( length of partition and width of garden)
.
check,,,17*3 +60 = 111...ok
.
.
if partition is across long side of garden,,,,,
.
3(30) +2 w =111
.
2w =21
.
w=10.5 ft,,,,or width of garden is 10.5 ft
.
