Answer: 6 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Length of the rectangle be L and the Width be W

Also , let us pick the Length as the longest side , then from the statement

L = 2W

The perimeter of a rectangle is given as :

P = 2 ( L + W )

substitute L = 2W into the formula , we have

P = 2 ( 2W + W )

P = 2 (3W)

P = 6W

Therefore the Perimeter is 6 times as long as the Width
