He will need 99 feet of fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's back yard has the following dimensions;

Length=120 feet

Width=75 feet

The gardens dimensions can be calculated using the expression;

Length of garden=Length of back yard/scale factor

where;

Length of back yard=120 feet

Scale factor=2/5

replacing;

Length of garden=120/2/5

Length of garden=12 feet

Width of garden=Width of back yard/scale factor

where;

Width of back yard=75 feet

Scale factor=2/5

replacing;

Width of garden=75/2/5

Width of garden=37.5 feet

The gardens dimension are;

Garden width=37.5 feet

Garden length=12 feet

To get the length of the fence that will enclose all four sides, we calculate the perimeter of the garden;

Perimeter=2(length+width)

Perimeter=2(12+37.5)=99 feet

He will need 99 feet of fence
