Julia wants to make a vegetable garden in her backyard for 6 different vegetables. She makes 6 sections in the
garden. The dimensions of the garden are 3 sections long by 2 sections wide. Each section is in the shape of a
square. The area of the vegetable garden is 73.5 square feet. What is the length of the vegetable garden?
First, we can divide 73.5 into 6 to calculate area for each section. We get the answer of 12.25. Next, it says that the garden is 3x2 sections, so we multiply 12.25 by 3 to get a total of 36.75
