Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
First, write down what we know.
Length of Rectangle =
Width =
2 ways to solve this:
<u>1st way:</u>
If we convert the fraction into a decimal, then we can easily find the width.
can be solved by making the mixed number into a improper fraction.
Multiply the denominator (5) by the whole number (5), then add the numerator (3). This number is 28. Replace the 3 with the 28, and now we have . This number is equal to 5.6.
Now, we have to divide this number.
5.6 divided by 2 is equal to 2.8.
So, the width is equal to 2.8.
Now, we add the width and length together twice to get the perimeter of the rectangle.
2.8 + 2.8 + 5.6 + 5.6 = 16.8
<u>So, the answer is A. 16.8 inches.</u>
<u>2nd way:</u>
Since we know that the width is half of the length, we can just add the length by itself 3 times, since two of the widths combined will equal the length.
5.6 + 5.6 + 5.6 = 16.8
<u>So, the answer is A. 16.8 inches.</u>
