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 the number of garden edging lengths needed, we first need to convert the 1800 mm length of each garden edging into meters. 

Since 1000 mm equals 1 meter:
\[
1800 \, \text{mm} = 1.8 \, \text{m}
\]

Next, we divide the total perimeter of the garden by the length of one piece of edging:
\[
\frac{14 \, \text{m}}{1.8 \, \text{m}} \approx 7.78
\]

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