Tirzah wants to put a fence around her garden. She has 22 yards of fence material. Does she have enough to go all the way around the garden? Explain why or why not.

Length - 6 3/4
Width - 4 2/3

First we need to calculate the perimeter of the garden, and compare it to the amount of fence material she has.
P = 2 * (6 3/4 + 4 2/3)
P = 2 * (27/4 + 14/3)
P = 2 * 137/12
P = 274/12

P = 137/6
P = 22.83333333

Since this value for the perimeter is greater than 22, that would mean that Tirzah has enough fence material to go all around her garden.
