Question

Aaron built a frame for his chicken pen. The length of the pen measures 2.3 m and the width of the pen measures 1.4m. The chicken wire comes in a pack that measures 2 m. How many packs will Aaron need to buy?

Perimeter of the pen: $P=(2.3+1.4)*2=7.4\;m.$

To find the number of packs we should round up $\frac{7.4}{2}=4.$

Aaron need to buy 4 packs.
