Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To determine the least amount of ribbon Alexis will need for each rectangular placemat, we'll assume she wants to create a border around each placemat.

**Given:**
- Width of placemat = 12 inches
- Length of placemat = 15 inches

**Calculation:**

The ribbon needed for each placemat is essentially the perimeter of the rectangle.

$$
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Width} + \text{Length}) 
$$

$$
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (12\, \text{in} + 15\, \text{in}) = 2 \times 27\, \text{in} = 54\, \text{in}
$$

**Conclusion:**

Alexis will need **54 inches of ribbon** for each placemat.

*If Alexis is making multiple placemats, simply multiply 54 inches by the number of placemats to find the total ribbon required.*
Alexis needs 54 inches of ribbon for each placemat.
