60 is the perimeter of the first person's garden.
JustBeNice:
There are four sides, two of which are 14 in length, two are 16.

That should equal the perimeter of the first garden.
JustBeNice:
What is being asked in this is the perimeter of the second garden. If it is 10 by 4, what are the lengths of each side? Find that, and you can add all the side lengths to get the answer.
karissafrazier:
40 is the length of each side I think

The first garden is 14 by 16. This means two sides are 14, two are 16.

Now, for the second garden, that means it will be 10 + 10 + 4 + 4
JustBeNice:
So, what's 10 + 10?

28, not 24.
JustBeNice:
wait! it wants it in feet! not yards
JustBeNice:
I'm sorry! I didn't notice that. Do you know how to convert yards to feet?
karissafrazier:
multiply if i remember correctly, which i probably don't
JustBeNice:
It's okay:) Each yard is 3 feet.

So, what you're going to do is multiply the answer we got, 28, by 3. Then it should be correct:)
