Answer 2

Melissa will need 7200 square inches of ribbon to make the 5 bulletin boards.

Explanation:

Since Melissa is making 5 bulletin boards for her friends, and each one measures 12 inches wide by 24 inches long, to determine the number of inches that Melissa should use in total, the following calculation must be performed:

12 x 5 + 24 x 5 = X

60 x 120 = X

7,200 = X

So, Melissa will need 7200 square inches of ribbon to make the 5 bulletin boards.
