Answer: 2.12 × 
The coefficient (in green) will be 2.12
Step-by-step explanation:
Scientific notation is written by multiplying the number by a power of 10. This number is a number between 1 and 10.
Since this is a smaller number, we will be multiplying it by a power of 10 to a negative number.
To get this value to a number between 1 and 10, we must multiply it by 10 3 times (also shown as 10³) which gives us 2.12.
To get back to the original value, we multiply this by
. This gives us our answer.
We are given area of the ribbon = 144 square inches.
We know formula for side of a square =
.
Plugging value of area in the formula, we get
Side of the square 
= 12 inches.
Sonya wants to sew ribbon along each side of a square pillow.
So, we need to find the perimeter of the square pillow.
<h3>Perimeter = 4 × side = 4 × 12 = 48 inches.</h3><h3>Therefore, she buy 48 inches of ribbon to have the exact amount that she needs.</h3>
