Answer 1

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the perimeters of both shapes.

The first shape is a rectangle, so the opposite sides will have equal values. The length is 3/12 and the width is 1/6. Put these into the rectangular perimeter formula:

2(3/12) + 2(1/6) = P

6/12 + 2/6 = P

These need to share a common denominator to be added. 6 * 2 = 12, so multiply 2 by 2.

6/12 + 4/12 = P

6 + 4 = 10

10/12 = p

Now for the perimeter of the triangle. The lines on each line tell us all 3 sides are equal. Therefore:

3l = P

The length of a side is equal to 1/3 as shown

3(1/3) = P

3/3 = P

Now convert 3/3 to share a common denominator with 10/12

12/12

Since 12 > 10, we will divide the perimeter of the triangle by the perimeter of the rectangle.

12/12 - 10/12 = 2/12

2 and 12 share a factor, so we will simplify

1/6

The difference between the perimeters is 1/6.
