    Let us assume width of the rectangle = w cm.

    Length of the rectangle is three times the width.

    We took width by w.

    Therefore, three times of w = 3*w = 3w.

    That is the length of the rectangle.

    Perimeter of the rectangle is given by following formula.

    Perimeter = 2*length + 2 * width.

    We also given that perimeter is at most 112.

    Note: "At most" pharse represents less than or equal to.

    Therefore, we could setup an inequality as

    2*length + 2 * width ≤ 112

    Plugging length = 3w and width = w, we get

    2*3w + 2*w ≤ 12

    or 2w + 2*3w ≤ 12.

    Therefore, 2w + 2*3w ≤ 12 inequality models the realationship between the width and the perimeter of the rectangle.
