Answer 1

Answer:The perimeter of the rectangle is $\frac{47}{3} inch$ or 15.66 inch.

Explanation:

Length of strip (I) = $2\frac{1}{2} inch=\frac{5}{2}inch$

Length of strip (II) = $5\frac{1}{3} inch=\frac{16}{3} inch$

According to question two strips of length $1 inch$ and two strips of lenght $\frac{5}{3} inch$ is used in making rectangle:

Perimeter of rectangle = Sum of all sides of rectangle

Perimeter of rectangle =$\frac{5}{2} inch+\frac{5}{2} inch +\frac{16}{3} inch+\frac{16}{3} inch=\frac{47}{3} inch$

The perimeter of the rectangle is $\frac{47}{3} inch$ or 15.66 inch.
