Question

The expression 2(l + w) is used to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, where l is length and w is width. If the length is Fraction 2 over 3 unit and the width is Fraction 1 over 3 unit, what is the perimeter of the rectangle in units?

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter = 1 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

$length \ is \ a \ fraction \ 2 \ over \ 3 = \frac{2}{3}\\\\Width \ is \ a \ fraction \ 1 \ over \ 3 = \frac{1}{3}\\\\Perimeter = 2 ( l + w)$

               $= 2 \times (\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{3}) \\\\=2 \times (\frac{3}{3})\\\\= 1 unit$
