Answer: 11

The perimeter as a mixed number is P = 11 & 4/5, but it seems like your teacher only wants the whole part of the answer. So you'll just type 11.

============================================================

Work Shown:

1/2 = 0.5

2 & 1/2 = 2 + 1/2 = 2 + 0.5 = 2.5

This shows that L = 2.5 ft

Similarly, W = 3.4 ft because 3+2/5 = 3+0.4 = 3.4

-----------------

Plug those L and W values into the perimeter formula

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2*2.5 + 2*3.4

P = 5 + 6.8

P = 11.8

now convert back to a mixed number

11.8 = 11 + 0.8

11.8 = 11 + 8/10

11.8 = 11 + 4/5

11.8 = 11 & 4/5

The perimeter is 11 & 4/5 ft. In other words, the perimeter is 11 whole feet plus an additional 4/5 of a foot.

Your teacher seems to only want the whole part of the answer, assuming they only want the stuff in the box indicated with a question mark. If that's the case, then you'll type 11 into the box to write the final answer.

Answer:

P = 11 4/5

Explanation:

Let L = 2 1/2 and w = 3 2/5


P=2(2(1)/(2))+2(3(2)/(5))\\\\P=5+6(4)/(5)\\\\P=11(4)/(5)
