Question

the width of rectangle is 6 2/3 inches.the length of the rectangle is twice its width. what is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Let's convert the width to an improper fraction first:

`6 (2)/(3) = (6*3+2)/(3) = (20)/(3)`

This means that the length is:

`(20)/(3)*2 = (40)/(3)`

The perimeter of a rectangle is:

`2(l+w)`

Plug in values, and you get:

`2( (40)/(3)+ (20)/(3)) = 2((60)/(3)) = (120)/(3) = 40`

So, your answer is 40 in.
