Find the perimeter of a counter top that measures 2 yards by 2/3 yards

Answer 1

the counter is a rectangle

P = 2(2 + 2/3)

P = 2(6+2)/3

P = (2*8)/3 = 16/3 yards

Explanation:

Answer 2

Hello!

Answer:

`\large \boxed{\sf P = (16)/(3)~yards}`

Explanation:

→ The formula of the perimeter of the rectangle is:

`\sf P = 2(l+L)`

Where:

- P is the perimeter of the rectangle

- l is the lenght of the rectangle

- L is the width of the rectangle

→ Let's apply this formula:

`\sf P = 2(2 + (2)/(3) )`

→ Simplify the equation:

`\sf P = 4 + (4)/(3)`

`\sf P = (12)/(3) + (4)/(3)`

`\boxed{\sf P = (16)/(3)}`

Conclusion:

The perimeter of a counter top that measures 2 yards by 2/3 yards is 16/3 yards.
