Ryder drew a scale drawing of the rectangular pool in his backyard using a scale of 1 in = 2 ft. He wants to add a border around the perimeter of the pool using 12-in square tiles. If the length of the drawing of the pool is 6 in, and the width of the drawing is 5 in, how many tiles does Ryder need for the border?

the perimeter is the length of all the sides added up
