It takes 65 inches of ribbon to make a bow and wrap a ribbon around the box. The bow takes 30 inches of ribbon. The width of the box is 12 inches. What is the height of the box?

ok so the bow and the width of the box takes 42 inches of ribbon so you have 23 inches of ribbon left. take away another 12 inches for the other side of the box then you have 11 inches of ribbon left. so it takes 5 1/2 inches of ribbon to do the height on each side of the box

hope this helps my queen <3 :) ❤❤❤❤❤
