Bob is building a garden on his land, and he wants it to be fenced in to keep out varmints. The garden is a rectangular plot 225 feet long by 125 feet wide. He also wants to have a small 3-foot wide gate to walk through and a larger 10-foot wide gate to move his gardening equipment through. How much fencing is Bob going to need to fence in his garden, taking into account the two gates? Think carefully first, then make a decision:

The perimeter of the garden is 2 * 225 + 2 * 125 = 450 + 250 = 700 feet. Minus the two gates, he will need at least 700 - 3 - 10 = 687 feet of fencing. So, the answer is 687.
