What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 10 3/16 inches and a width of 6 7/8 inches?

Question

We need to know if it is a reasonable answer and why.

Answer 1

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

l = 10 3/16 = 163/16

b = 6 7/8 = 55/8

P = 2(163/16+55/8)

= 2(163+110)/16

= 273/8

= 34.125 inches.

Perimeter of given rectangle = 34.125 inches.
