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.
