The correct option is No, Amy does not have enough ribbon to wrap around the perimeter of the picture frame

The steps used to determine whether the length of the ribbon is enough to wrap around the picture frame are presented as follows;

The length of the ribbon Amy has to rap around the picture frame = 36 inches

The dimensions of the rectangular picture frame; 12 inches by 24 inches

Perimeter of the rectangular picture frame is; 2 × 12 + 2 × 24 = 72 inches

Length of the ribbon Amy has, 36 inches is less than the length of the perimeter of the picture frame, therefore, the correct option is No, she does not have enough ribbon to wrap around the perimeter of the rectangular picture frame
