Question

The expression 2(l + w) is used to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, where l is length and w is width. If the length is Fraction 2 over 3 unit and the width is Fraction 1 over 3 unit, what is the perimeter of the rectangle in units? (3 points)

Group of answer choices

Fraction 2 over 3 unit

1 unit

1 Fraction 2 over 3 units

2 units

Answer 1

1 unit

Explanation:

The expression 2(l + w) is used to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, where l is length and w is width. If the length is 2/3 unit, and the width is 1/3 unit, what is the perimeter of the rectangle in units?

perimeter = 2(l + w)

perimeter = 2(2/3 + 1/3)

perimeter = 2(3/3) = 2(1)

perimeter = 1

Answer: 1 unit
