Ms. Wilson has a garden that is 6 feet long and 8 feet wide. She uses 1 bag of
fertilizer on the garden every year. This year, Ms. Wilson plans to double the length and
width of her garden. Ms. Gilmour, the nursery owner, tells Ms. Wilson that she will need
4 bags of fertilizer. Ms. Wilson says that she will need only 2 bags. Who is correct?

Starting at the upper left corner of the grid below, shade a 6- by 8-foot rectangle to
represent Ms. Wilsons current garden. What is the area of the garden? (Each square is
1 foot per side.)

Starting at the upper left corner of the grid below, shade a 12- by 16-foot rectangle
