    In this question the given information's should be closely noted. The length and width of the perimeter are already given. Based on those information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.

    Length of the rectangle = 2 1/2 inch

    = 5/2 inch

    Width of the rectangle = 5 1/3 inch

    = 16/3 inch

    Then

    Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (Length + Width)

    = 2 [ (5/2) + (16/3) ]

    = 2 [ (45 + 32) / 6]

    = 2 * (77/6)

    = 77/3 inch

    = 25 2/3 inch

    So the perimeter of the rectangle in question is 25 2/3 inch. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
