Your verified answer for the question Bethany is making a rectangular fenced – in area for her rabbit in her yard. The area measures 4 3/4 feet wide by 2 yards long. What is the total length of fencing, and feet, that Bethany will need?

You must first do perimeter which the formula is 2(L) + 2( W ) the answer will then be 21 1/2

Answer:

21 1/2 Feet

Explanation:

Change 2 yards into feet. 2 yards will be 6 feet.

The perimeter will be

6 + 6 + 4 3/4 + 4 3/4

12 + 8 6/4 Which is the same as

12 + 8 + 4/4 + 2/4 I broke 6/4 up into 4/4 and 2/4 because another name of 4/4 is 1

12 + 8 + 1 + 2/4

21 2/4 2/4 can be simplified to 1/2

21 1/2 feet

Helping in the name of Jesus.
