Length = (1/12) mile
Width = (3/8) mile
Perimeter = 2 *Length + 2*Width
Perimeter = 2/12 + 6/8 =
4/24 + 18/24 =
20/24 miles = 5/6 miles Perimeter
area = Length * Width = (1/12) * (3/8) = (3/96) square miles
(3 / 96) square miles is an awkward way to express area so let's try:
(1/12) miles = 440 feet
(3/8) miles = 1,980 feet
Area = 440 * 1,980 = 871,200 square feet which equals
0.03125 square miles
