The problem describes Jada's rectangular garden, which is 12.63 meters long and 3.28 meters wide. Jada is estimating the perimeter by rounding the length and width to the nearest whole number.

Step 1: Round the dimensions

• The length is 12.63 meters, which rounds to 13 meters.
• The width is 3.28 meters, which rounds to 3 meters.

Step 2: Calculate the estimated perimeter

The formula for the perimeter $P$ of a rectangle is: $P = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Width})$ Using the rounded values: $P = 2 \times (13 + 3) = 2 \times 16 = 32 \text{ meters}$

Step 3: Check the options provided in the image

Jada's estimate corresponds to the equation: $13 + 3 + 13 + 3 = 32 \text{ meters}$ This matches the option "13 + 3 + 13 + 3 = 32 meters".

Thus, the correct answer is 32 meters.
