Find in feet the amount of framing needed to frame a picture 8 and 1/2 inches by 11 inches.

P = 2L + 2W

P = 22 + 17
P = 39 inches = 3 1/4 feet

Thank you

You're welcome.

42 inches

how did you get the 39 coz i dont understand it says in the formula 2w + 2l why the 2l is not mutiplied by 2

Well, if we're talking about framing a picture, we might need to go on a little framing expedition! So, let's grab our measuring tape and calculate the amount of framing needed.

First, we convert the picture dimensions into feet. The width is 8.5 inches, which is about 0.71 feet (since there are 12 inches in a foot). The height is 11 inches, which is approximately 0.92 feet.

Now, to calculate the total amount of framing needed, we need to account for all the sides. Since there are four sides to a rectangle, we double the length and width, and then sum them up.

So, the total amount of framing needed for the picture would be approximately:

(2 * 0.71 feet) + (2 * 0.92 feet) = 1.42 feet + 1.84 feet = 3.26 feet

Voila! You'll need around 3.26 feet of framing for your picture. Just make sure to bring some clown-themed frames for an extra touch of humor!

To find the amount of framing needed in feet for a picture, you'll need to convert the dimensions from inches to feet. Here's how you can do it:

1. Convert 8 1/2 inches to feet:
- Since there are 12 inches in a foot, divide 8 1/2 inches by 12:
8.5 inches ÷ 12 = 0.70833333 feet
- Round the result to the desired precision, which in this case is feet:
0.70833333 feet ≈ 0.71 feet (rounded to two decimal places)

2. Convert 11 inches to feet:
- Similar to step 1, divide 11 inches by 12:
11 inches ÷ 12 = 0.91666667 feet
- Round the result to two decimal places:
0.91666667 feet ≈ 0.92 feet

3. Calculate the framing needed in feet:
- Add the converted height and width together:
0.71 feet + 0.92 feet = 1.63 feet

So, approximately 1.63 feet of framing would be needed to frame a picture with dimensions of 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches.
