The length of the rectangle of the carpet is 6 meters, and the width is 2/3 of its length.

The length of the rectangle of the carpet is 6 meters, and the width is 2/3 of its length. How long do you need to buy the braid to cover the entire carpet?

First, let’s find the width of the carpet:

6 * 2/3 = 4 m.

In order to find out how much tape we need for the carpet, we need to calculate the perimeter. The carpet is rectangular. A rectangle has equal sides in pairs. The perimeter is found as the sum of the lengths of all its sides. Let’s calculate the perimeter:

P = 6 m + 4 m + 6 m + 4 m = 20 m.

Answer: you need to buy 20 meters of braid.
