the melt in your mouth chocolate factory is a rectangular building.The distence across the front of the store is 98 yards.The distance from the front to the back one-third of this distance.If the owners paint a sign all the way around the outside of the factory,how many feet long will the sign be?

(1/3) * 98 = ?

Add the product to 98 and multiply by 2.

196 260.4 ft

196 To find the length of the sign that goes all the way around the outside of the factory, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular building.

We know that the distance across the front of the store is 98 yards. Therefore, the width of the rectangular building is 98 yards.

The distance from the front to the back is one-third of the width. So, the length of the rectangular building is (1/3) * 98 yards.

To find the perimeter, we add up all the sides of the rectangle. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2 * (length + width).

Let's calculate it step by step:

1. Convert the yards to feet since we need the answer in feet. There are 3 feet in a yard. So, the width is 98 * 3 = 294 feet.

2. Calculate the length of the rectangular building: (1/3) * 98 = 32.67 yards. Convert this to feet: 32.67 * 3 = 98 feet.

3. Calculate the perimeter: P = 2 * (length + width) = 2 * (98 + 294) = 2 * 392 = 784 feet.

Therefore, the sign will be 784 feet long.
