Question 263301
An architect designes a rectangular flower garden such that the width is exactly two-thirds of the length. IF 260 feet of antique picket fencing are to be used to enclose the garden, find the dimensions of the garden.

Let length be x

Width = 2/3 x

2x+4/3  x=260

6x+4x/3   =260      LCD

10x/3  =260
10x=780
X=78 feet

Width = 52 feet
