8 + 1/3 (eight and one over three ft) more fencing will the gardener need to purchase.

As gardener have a square garden for his flowers.

He has already 4 + 2/3 ft (four and 2 over 3 ft) of fencing in garage.

Length of one side of the garden is 3 + 1/4 ft (three and one over four ft)

Length of one side of the garden is 3 + 1/4 ft.

So, as it is known that fencing is done on the edges of the garden so, total fencing required will be the perimeter of shape of the garden.

that is: 4 x ( length of one side of garden )

let required fencing is 'X' :

So, X = 4 x ( 3 + 1/4 )

X = 4x3 + 4x(1/4)

X = 12 + 1

X = 13 ft

Let gardener needs 'Y' amount of more fencing:

so, Y = X - ( already fencing in garage)

Y = 13 - ( 4 + 2/3 )

Y = 13 - 14/3

Y = 25/3

Y = 8 + 1/3 ft

Hence, 8 + 1/3 (eight and one over three ft) more fencing will the gardener need to purchase.
