your fence measurement of 24 ft will be the perimeter of the garden. 

To find the dimensions of garden halve the 24 ft. 

Halving occurs because the opposite sides of the rectangle are equal in length. 

No you need to pairs of  whole numbers that add to 12

so start with 1 + 11 = 12
                   2 + 10 = 12

I'll let you get the rest of the pairs. 

Hope this helps
