Question

Frank is putting up a wallpaper in his bedroom. His bedroom measures 1 1/8 feet long and 9 3/4 feet wide. What is the perimeter of Franks bedroom?

Answer 1

21 6/8

Explanation:

1 1/8 times 2 =2 2/8

9 3/4 times 2= 19 4/8

Finally,

19 4/8 plus 2 2/8 = 21 6/8

Answer 2

Since it talks about long and wide and there is no a triangluar bedroom we use rectangle
Change first to improper
1 1/8=9/8
9 3/4=39/4

Now Perimeter of it is
2(l+w)=P
2(9/8+39/4)=P
9/4+39/2=P
Their LCM is 4
9/4+78/4=P
87/4=P
