Answer 1

Marcia will need 40 inches of wood for the frame

Explanation:

The question in English is

Marcia will make a frame for her painting. The length of the frame is 15 inches, the width is a third of the length. How much wood does Marcia need for the frame?

we know that

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula

`P=2(L+W)`

where

L is the length

W is the width

we have

`L=15\ in`

the width is a third of the length

so

`W=(1)/(3)L`

substitute the value of L

`W=(1)/(3)(15)=5\ in`

Find the perimeter

`P=2(15+5)=40\ in`
