mark knows that his yard is 2 1/4 times as long as it is wide. which equation shows the length, in feet, of the fence that goes all the way around the yard if mark measures the width as w feet?
2 1/4 w feet
6 1/2w or as a decimal, 6.5w
Where are the choices?
w = width
2.25w = length
Perimeter P = 2w + 2L
P = 2w + 2(2.25w)
P = 2w + 4.5w
P = 6.5w
