Len has 3 strips of construction paper. Each strip is the same size and a different color-red, yellow, and pink. He tapes the strips together to make a rectangle. Then Len divides the rectangle into sixths so that each sixth is one color. What fraction other than 1/3 names the part of the rectangle that is red?

2/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the rectangle strips are taped together to form a rectangle. Therefore 1 of the third of the rectangle would be red, this means that 1/3 of the rectangle would be red color. The rectangle is then divide into sixths, this can be achieved by dividing each of the taped strip into 2.

Therefore 2 of the sixths rectangle would be red in color, Hence the fraction of the rectangle that would be red is given as 2/6

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
