The width of the rectangular plot occupied by the garden is 42.4 / 5m, and the length is 14.2 / 5m more than the width.

The width of the rectangular plot occupied by the garden is 42.4 / 5m, and the length is 14.2 / 5m more than the width. Find the length of the fence that surrounds the garden.

The length of the fence surrounding the garden is the perimeter of the rectangle, which consists of the sum of all its sides.

Find the length of the garden:

42 4/5 + 14 2/5 = (42 * 5 + 4) / 5 + (14 * 5 + 2) / 5 = (210 + 4) / 5 + (70 + 2) / 5 = (214 + 72 ) / 5 = 286/5 meters;

Find the length of the fence:

2 * 42 4/5 + 2 * 286/5 = 428/5 + 572/5 = (428 + 572) / 5 = 1000/5 = 200 meters.
