mrs kimber is outlining the outside of a present with ribbon. She used 54 inches of ribbon in all. The width of the prsent is 12 inches What is the length

Answer 1

Total length of ribbon - ribbon used for the width (2 sides) = ribbon left for the length (2 sides)

54 - 2(12) =

54 - 24 = 30 inches left for the remaining sides. Since there are 2 sides covered with that ribbon, 30/2 = 15 inches for each length
