Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 14 11/12 feet.if the length is 4 3/8 feet what ia the width

Answer 1

Perimeter = 179/12 feet

Length = 35/8 feet

Perimeter = (2 × Length) + (2 × Width)

2(35/8) + 2Width = 179/12 feet

2Width = 179/12 - 35/4 = 37/6

Width = 37/(2 × 6) = 37/12

Simplify to get;

Width = 3 and 1/12
