They want to enclose a rectangular plot. The length of the plot is 600m, and the width is 5/6 of the length. How long should the entire fence be?

First of all, we calculate the width of the section, if, according to the condition, it is 5/6 of the length. Find the width if the length of the section is 600 m:
1) 600 * 5: 6 = 500 (m).
In order to find the length of the fence, you need to calculate the perimeter of the site. Since the site is rectangular, its perimeter will be equal to the doubled sum of its two sides:
2) P = 2 (600 + 500) = 2 * 1100 = 2200 (m).
Answer: the fence should be 2200 m long.
