The distance across the front of the store is 98 yards the distance from the front to the back is one thrid of the distance if the owner paint a sign all the way around the outside how many feet long will be
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(98) + 2(98/3)
Multiply your answer by 3 to find the number of feet.
Assuming that "all the way around the outside" is the whole perimeter:
2(98) + 2(98/3) = ?
To find the length of the sign that goes all the way around the outside of the store, we need to calculate the perimeter of the store.
We know that the distance across the front of the store is 98 yards. Since yards is a unit of length, we need to convert this to feet, as it is easier to work with. There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so the distance across the front in feet is:
98 yards * 3 feet/yard = 294 feet
Now, let's find the distance from the front to the back. We are told that this distance is one-third of the distance across the front of the store. So, the distance from front to back is:
1/3 * 294 feet = 98 feet
To calculate the perimeter, we add the distances across the front and back, and the distances on both sides of the store:
Perimeter = (294 feet + 294 feet) + (98 feet + 98 feet) = 588 feet + 196 feet = 784 feet
Therefore, the sign that goes all the way around the outside of the store will be 784 feet long.
