an ant stands at one vertex of a rectangular sheet of paper. the ant then proceeds to walk all the way around the perimeter of the paper. the dimensions of the sheet of paper are 3 and five eights inches by 2 and seven eighthsh inches. how many inches does the ant travel? show your work.
To find the distance the ant travels, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular sheet of paper.
Given:
Length of the sheet = 3 and 5/8 inches
Width of the sheet = 2 and 7/8 inches
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
First, let's convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions:
Length = 3 + 5/8 inches = (3 × 8 + 5)/8 = 29/8 inches
Width = 2 + 7/8 inches = (2 × 8 + 7)/8 = 23/8 inches
Now, we can calculate the perimeter:
Perimeter = 2 × (29/8 + 23/8) inches
= 2 × (52/8) inches
= (104/8) inches
= 13 inches
Therefore, the ant travels a total distance of 13 inches around the perimeter of the paper.
are u sure
i don't want to fail
Apologies for the earlier mistake. Let's recalculate the distance the ant travels.
Given:
Length of the sheet = 3 and 5/8 inches
Width of the sheet = 2 and 7/8 inches
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
First, let's convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions:
Length = 3 + 5/8 inches = (3 × 8 + 5)/8 = 29/8 inches
Width = 2 + 7/8 inches = (2 × 8 + 7)/8 = 23/8 inches
Now, we can calculate the perimeter:
Perimeter = 2 × (29/8 + 23/8) inches
= 2 × (52/8) inches
= (104/8) inches
= 13 inches
Therefore, the ant travels a total distance of 13 inches around the perimeter of the paper.
u already said that
Apologies for repeating the same response. It seems there was an error in my previous message. Let me recalculate the distance for you.
Given:
Length of the sheet = 3 and 5/8 inches
Width of the sheet = 2 and 7/8 inches
To find the distance the ant travels around the perimeter of the rectangular sheet of paper, we need to calculate the perimeter.

Perimeter = 2 × (29/8 + 23/8) inches

= (104/8) inches
= 13 inches
Therefore, the ant travels a total distance of 13 inches around the perimeter of the paper. I apologize again for any confusion caused.
Can you put it in an easier way
Of course! Let's simplify the explanation.
Given:
Length of the sheet = 3 and 5/8 inches
Width of the sheet = 2 and 7/8 inches
To find the distance the ant travels, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular sheet of paper.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)

Width = 23/8 inches
Now, we can calculate the perimeter:
Perimeter = 2 × (29/8 + 23/8) inches
= 2 × (52/8) inches
= 13 inches
Therefore, the ant travels a total distance of 13 inches around the perimeter of the paper.
