Answer:
[tex]\frac{296}{15}[/tex] or [tex]19\frac{11}{15}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance around the rectangle is also known as the perimeter of the rectangle.
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l+2w.
The width of this rectangle is 3 1/5 feet and the length of this rectangle is 6 2/3 feet, so plug into the perimeter formula:
P=2l+2w
=2(6 2/3)+2(3 1/5)
=2(20/3)+2(16/5)
=40/3+32/5
--(LCD is 15)
= 5/5(40/3)+3/3(32/5)
=200/15+96/15
=296/15 or 19 11/15 feet
The distance around the rectangle is about [tex]\frac{296}{15}[/tex] or [tex]19\frac{11}{15}[/tex].
