A dog trainer is building a dog run that measures 9 × 16 feet.
If she wants to fence the perimeter of the run, how many feet of chain link fence will she need?

  1. 144 feet
  2. 25 feet
  3. 32 feet
  4. 50 feet

A rectangle is 11/2 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter of the rectangle is 100 inches.
What's the length of the rectangle?

  1. 20 inches
  2. 30 inches
  3. 40 inches
  4. 45 inches

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. In this case, P = 100 and L = 1.5W.
100 = 2(1.5W) + 2W
100 = 3W + 2W
100 = 5W
W = 100/5
W = 20.
The width of the rectangle is 20 inches. Because the length is 11/2 the width, 1.5 × 20 = 30.

A 3-yard-long ribbon was used to trim four dresses. Each dress used the same amount of ribbon.
How much ribbon was used for each dress?

  1. 1 yard
  2. 2/3 yard
  3. 1/2 yard
  4. 3/4 yard

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Convert the measurement to inches: 1 yard = 36 inches; 36 inches × 3 = 108 inches.
Divide the total number of inches by the number of dresses being trimmed to determine the length of each piece of ribbon: 108 inches ÷ 4 = 27 inches. Convert the quotient (27 inches) to a fraction of a yard: 27/36 = 27 ÷ 36 = 75% = 3/4 of a yard.
