Question

Find the perimeter of the following rectangle. Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

we add the four sides to get the perimeter

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)+(2)/(3)+2(1)/(4)+2(1)/(4) \\ \\ (4)/(3)+4(2)/(4) \\ \\ 1(1)/(3)+4(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

add the integer part and the fraction

`\begin{gathered} (4+1)((1)/(3)+(1)/(2)) \\ \\ 5(((2*1)+(3*1))/(3*2)) \\ \\ 5((5)/(6)) \\ \\ 5(5)/(6) \end{gathered}`

the perimeter is 5 5/6 yd because is a measure on one dimesion
