Question

The frame is a rectangle that’s 16 inches by 20 inches. The craft store has 7 feet of orange ribbon. Is that enough ribbon for Lana’s frame? If so, how much will be orange ribbon will be left after Lana makes her purchase

Answer 1

To determine if there is enough ribbon for Lana's frame, find the perimeter and calculate the length required. Lana will have 1 foot of orange ribbon left after purchasing enough for her frame.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if there is enough ribbon for Lana's frame, we need to find the perimeter of the frame. The perimeter of a rectangle is found by adding the lengths of all four sides. In this case, the length is 16 inches and the width is 20 inches. So, the perimeter is 2(16) + 2(20) = 32 + 40 = 72 inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, Lana needs 72/12 = 6 feet of ribbon to go around the entire frame.

Given that the craft store has 7 feet of orange ribbon, Lana has enough ribbon for her frame. To find out how much ribbon will be left, we subtract the length of ribbon Lana needs from the length available. 7 - 6 = 1. Therefore, Lana will have 1 foot of orange ribbon left after her purchase.

Answer 2

Hi!

Imagine a rectangle with a width of 20 inches, and a height of 16. Find the length around the rectangle (the perimeter).

16+20+16+20=72

There are 12 inches in a feet. How many feet are in 72 inches?

72/12=6

Lana needs 6 feet of ribbon. She bought 7 feet.

7-6=1

It is enough ribbon.
1 foot will be leftover.

Hope this helps! :)
