To find the distance the ant travels, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangle.
The length of the rectangle is 3 5/8 inches or 29/8 inches.
The width of the rectangle is 2 7/8 inches or 23/8 inches.
To find the perimeter, we add the lengths of all four sides of the rectangle:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 * (29/8 + 23/8)
Perimeter = 2 * (52/8)
Perimeter = 2 * 6.5
Perimeter = 13 inches
Therefore, the ant travels 13 inches around the perimeter of the rectangle.
