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

The perimeter of your garden is 14 meters, which is equal to 14,000 millimeters (since 1 meter = 1000 millimeters).

The garden edging comes in 1800 millimeter lengths. To determine how many lengths of edging you need, divide the total perimeter by the length of one section of garden edging:

\[
\frac{14,000 \, \text{mm}}{1800 \, \text{mm}} = 7.78
\]

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

Would you like any more details or have questions? Here are some related questions:

1. How can I calculate the total cost of the garden edging based on this number?
2. What would happen if the garden had a different shape, like a circle or a square?
3. How much leftover edging will I have if I buy 8 lengths?
4. Can I use multiple smaller lengths of edging instead of one large piece?
5. How does the thickness of the edging affect the amount needed?

**Tip:** Always round up when calculating materials that come in fixed lengths to ensure you have enough.
