Answer 1

Answer: No, she does not have enough ribbon to wrap around the perimeter of the picture frame.

Explanation:

Use the given information:

• The ribbon is 36 inches long
• The picture frame is 12 inches by 24 inches

Find the perimeter of the picture frame,

p = Length(2) + Width(2)

Substitute.

p = 12(2) + 24(2)

p = 24 + 48

p = 72

72 > 36

Thus, she does not have enough ribbon.
