A rectangle is a 6 2/3 feet long and 3 1/5 feet wide. About how many feet is the distance around the rectangle

or

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 or .

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
