you need garden edging for a garden with a perimeter of 14m. garden edging comes in 1800mm lengths. how many lengths will you need to buy to have enough edging for the entire perimeter

To calculate how many lengths of garden edging you'll need, follow these steps:

1. **Convert the total perimeter to millimeters** since the garden edging comes in millimeters (1800mm per length):
   \[
   14 \, \text{meters} = 14 \times 1000 = 14,000 \, \text{millimeters}
   \]

2. **Divide the total perimeter by the length of each garden edging**:
   \[
   \frac{14,000 \, \text{mm}}{1800 \, \text{mm}} = 7.78
   \]

3. Since you can't purchase a fraction of a length, you'll need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you will need to buy **8 lengths** of garden edging.

### Do you want more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions to expand this concept:
1. What would be the cost if each garden edging length costs $15?
2. How many lengths would you need if the garden perimeter was 20m?
3. If the edging comes in 1500mm lengths, how many would you need for the same perimeter?
4. How much extra length would you have if you bought 8 lengths for a 12m perimeter?
5. What is the total length of the garden edging purchased for a 14m perimeter?

**Tip:** Always round up when dealing with physical items that can't be split, like garden edging or tiles!
