Answer: To find the perimeter of the rectangle, we add up the lengths of all four sides.
The length of the rectangle is 6 1/2 inches and the width is 5 3/4 inches.
The formula for the perimeter P of a rectangle is:
P = 2L + 2W
where L is the length and W is the width.
Substituting the values given, we have:
P = 2(6 \frac{1}{2}) + 2(5 \frac{3}{4})
= 13 + 11 \frac{1}{2}
= 24 \frac{1}{2}
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 1/2 inches.
