Jane is going to walk once around the edge of a rectangular park. the park is 300 yards long and 200 feet wide. how far will jane walk?

Jane is walking around the edge of a rectangular park. This means that we are talking about perimeter.

The definition of perimeter is all of the sides added up.

We know that the length = 300 yards

We know that the Width  = 200 feet.

Now before we add them up together.. We have to watch out! we have to deal with the same unit. So lets figure out how many feet is the length

1 yard = 3 feet

So 300 yards multiplied by 3 would give us the length in feet.

300 x 3 = 900

Now we can add up the sides of the perimeter.

Since there are four sides in a rectangle we must add up each length and width twice.

900 + 900 + 200 + 200 = 2,200

So our answer is..

Jane walked 2,200 feet around the park.

Good Luck! :)
