Please help! I'm very confused on what to do with the 2 miles ...

Question

Every day Ms. Twinkle walks around a park near her houae. The park is in the shape of a rectangle 2 miles long and 1 3/10 miles wide. How far does she walk?

Answer 1

Ms.Twinkly walks around the Perimeter of the park. For a rectangle that is:

p = side1 + side2 _ side3 + side4 = 2*side1 + 2*side2 = 2W + 2L

L=2

W = 1 3/10

P = 2*(2) + 2*(1 3/10)

P = 4 + 2 6/10

P = 6 3/5 miles
