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 find out how many garden edging lengths are needed, we need to divide the total perimeter of the garden by the length of one edging piece.

1. The perimeter of the garden is 14 meters (14,000 mm, since 1 meter = 1,000 mm).
2. Each garden edging piece is 1800 mm long.

Now, divide the perimeter by the length of one edging piece:

\[
\frac{14,000 \, \text{mm}}{1,800 \, \text{mm}} \approx 7.78
\]

Since you can't buy a fraction of an edging piece, you'll need to round up to the next whole number. Therefore, you'll need 8 lengths of garden edging.

Always remember to convert units (e.g., meters to millimeters) when working with measurements in different scales to ensure accurate calculations.
