Perimeter of any figure is all its sides summed up
for a rectangle, with two equal pairs, that means, length + length + width + width or 2length + 2width, or 2(length + width)
but we know the length is 7/5 the width
width = w
perimeter = P
and the length is 7/5 of that
The area of the floor is (16-ft x 14-ft) = 224 square feet.
IF carpet cost $16 per square foot, THEN enough carpet
to cover that floor would cost
(224) x ($16) = $3,584 ,
and PLUS, you'd need to buy 224 square feet of pad to lay down
under the carpet, and pay more to have the whole thing installed.
That's an awful lot of money for a little dinky 12' x 14' bedroom !
Carpet does NOT cost $16 per square foot.
It's more like $16 per square YARD (plus pad and installation).
9 square feet = 1 square yard.
The area of the bedroom is (224/9) = 24-8/9 square yards
At $16 per each of those, the carpet costs (24-8/9) x ($16) = $398.22 .
Much more reasonable !

Answer:
Alright, we have 4 2/5 / 1/4.
First of all, let's convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
4 2/5 = 22 / 5
Dividing something by 1/4 is the same as multiplying it by 4.
22 / 5 * 4
This is 88 / 5 :)
