    The range of values for the width w of the garden is 17 ≤ w ≤ 30.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given,

    The length of the garden = 11 feet.

    The perimeter of the garden = 56 feet (at least is the minimum value)

    The perimeter of the garden = 82 feet (not more than is the maximum value)

    step 1:

    Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + width)

    ⇒ 56 = 2 (11 + width)

    ⇒ 56 = 22 + 2 width

    ⇒ 34 = 2 width

    ⇒ width = 34/2

    ∴ width = 17 feet

    step 2:

    Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + width)

    ⇒ 82 = 2 (11 + width)

    ⇒ 82 = 22 + 2 width

    ⇒ 60 = 2 width

    ⇒ width = 60/2

    ∴ width = 30 feet

    step 3:

    The range of values for width 'w' is 17 ≤ w ≤ 30.
