Question

The width of a rectangle is 6 2/3 inches.The length of the rectangle is twice its width. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Answer 1

40 inches is the answer

Answer 2

In this question , it is given that , the width of a rectangle is 6 2/3 inches.The length of the rectangle is twice its width.

First we need to convert mixed fraction to improper fraction.

$width = 6 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3}$

And length is twice of width, so length is

$length = 2* \frac{20}{3} = \frac{40}{3}$

The formula of perimeter is two times the sum of length and width.

$Perimeter = 2(\frac{20}{3} + \frac{40}{3} ) = 2( \frac{60}{3}) = 2*20 = 40 inches$
