John needs to wrap the edge of his rectangular desk with duct tape He knows the width is 10/8 of a meter and the length of a meter How much duct tape does he need to wrap the desks perimeter

13/4 m or 3.25 meters
1) Given the width is 10/8 meter
The length is 3/8 meter
2) To wrap the rectangular desk let's use this formula, for the Perimeter (2p):
2p= 2(w+l) Plug into w and l the measures
2p = 2(3/8 +10/8) Proceed with the sum within the parentheses
2p = 2(13/8) Distribute the factor
2p =13/4
3) Hence, the perimeter is 13/4 or 3.25 meters
