First convert everything to feet. The perimeter of 25 1/3 yards x 3 = 76 feet.
The length of the house is 22 feet. So the two lengths add up to 44 feet of the perimeter. That leaves
76 - 44 = 32 feet for the two widths. So one of those widths would be:
32 / 2 = 16 feet.

Answer is 16 feet. 25 1/3 yards = 76 feet (3 feet per yard: 25 x 3 = 75 + 1/3 yard. 1/3 yard = 1 foot... 75 + 1 = 76)
Since it's a rectangle, you know that there are 2 sets of equal-length sides... if length is 22 feet on one side, it must also be 22 feet on the other side. 22 + 22 = 44... subtract that from your perimeter (76) to get 32. 32 is now the total remaining perimeter when you are measuring only the 2 unmeasured sides - and since they must be equal in length, you know that they are each half of the total (32) - making your answer 16 feet.

16. 25 1/3 yards is 76 feet. So you subtract 44 for the 2 length sides to get the 2 width sides. Then you divide that by 2 to get the width of one side.

3 feet = 1 yard
equation for perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width (2L+2W=P)
multiply 25 1/3 by 3 to get how many feet the perimeter is (25 1/3 times 3 = 76)
so you know that the perimeter (P) = 76 feet and the length (L) = 22 feet so you plug those into your equation: 2(22) + 2W = 76
now you solve the equation for W (width)
2(22) + 2W = 76 ---> 2*22=44
44 + 2W = 76 ------> subtract 44 from both sides
44 + 2W - 44 = 76 - 44 -----> 44 - 44 = 0 and 76 - 44 = 32
2W = 32 -----> divide both sides by 2
2W/2 = 32/2 -----> 2W/2 = W and 32/2 = 16
W=16 so your width is 16 feet.

16 feet
25 1/3 yards is equal to 76 feet. the formula for perimeter is 2L+2W. 22 x 2 = 44. 76 - 44 = 36. 36/2 = 16.

convert the yards to feet (25.33 yd = 76 feet) so 76-(2x22)=32. that is both the widths combined, and divide that by 2 to get the width of 16. check: 2(16) + 2(22) = 76

25 1/3 * 3 = 76 ft
22 * 2 = 44
76 - 44 = 32
32/2=16
Width is 16 ft.
