The length of the rectangular beds is 8 m, and the width is one-half of the length.

The length of the rectangular beds is 8 m, and the width is one-half of the length. Find the length of the fence around the garden?

1. Find the width of the bed if it is 1/2 of the length:
8 m * 1/2 = 4 m.
2. Find the length of the bed fence, which forms the perimeter of the bed. To do this, add twice the length and width of the bed:
The length of the fence = 2 * 4 m + 2 * 8 m = 8 m + 16 m = 24 m.
Answer: the length of the fence for the garden bed is 24 meters.
