Question

A rectangle is 3 1/3 ft long and 2 1/3 feet wide. What is the distance around the rectangle?

Answer 1

3 1/3= 10/3
2 1/3= 7/3
7/3 + 10/3= 17/3
17/3 (2)+ 34/3
34/3= 11 1/3
final answer = 11 1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{34}{3} = 11\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is 3 1/3 ft long and 2 1/3 feet wide

$3 \frac{1}{3} =\frac{3\cdot 3+1}{3} =\frac{10}{3}$ (Length)

$2\frac{1}{3} =\frac{2\cdot 3+1}{3} =\frac{7}{3}$ (width)

To find the distance around the rectangle we find the perimeter

Perimeter = 2(length)+2(width)

P=$2(\frac{10}{3} )+2(\frac{7}{3} )= \frac{20}{3} +\frac{14}{3} =\frac{34}{3}$

$\frac{34}{3} = 11\frac{1}{3}$
