The distance across the front of the store is 294 feet. The distance from the front to the back is 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?

You Must divide 294 by 1/3 to get the length of the missing side of the building. You get 98.
Then you add all the sides together to get the perimeter.
294+294+98+98=784
The sign will be 784 feet long.

The Melt in Your Mouth Chocolate Factory is a rectangular building. The distance across the front of the store is 294 feet. The distance from the front to the back (width) is 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?
