Question

Jane made a poster that had a length: 1 2/3 of feet and a width: 5/6 of feet. What is the perimeter of her poster?

Answer 1

P = 6 2/3 ft

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle of length L and width W is

P = 2(L + W).

Here the perimeter is P = 2(1 2/3 + 5/6) = 2(5/2 + 5/6)

= 2(15/6 + 5/6) = 2(20/6)

= 40/6 = 20/3

P = 6 2/3 ft
