Question

Find the perimeter of the following rectangle. Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

we add the four sides to get the perimeter

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}+2\frac{1}{4}+2\frac{1}{4} \\ \\ \frac{4}{3}+4\frac{2}{4} \\ \\ 1\frac{1}{3}+4\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

add the integer part and the fraction

$\begin{gathered} (4+1)(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}) \\ \\ 5(\frac{(2\times1)+(3\times1)}{3\times2}) \\ \\ 5(\frac{5}{6}) \\ \\ 5\frac{5}{6} \end{gathered}$

the perimeter is 5 5/6 yd because is a measure on one dimesion
