2/3 the perimeter of a square is 16:

Multiply both sides by 3/2, giving you p (the perimeter of the square) on the left.

p = ??? (for you to calculate)
Then divide the perimeter by 4 to get the length of each side.

If of the perimeter is 16, then of the perimeter is half of that, i.e. 8 units - hence, the perimeter itself is 24 units. If the square has the perimeter of 24, then its side length is = 6 units. ANSWER
