Answer:

The dimension of the rectangular gift is 10 by 12 inches so let us find the perimeter of this rectangle.

Perimeter of rectangular gift = 2 (L+ W) = 2 (10 +12) = 44 inches

Since we are to use the same length of ribbon to wrap a circular clock so the perimeter or circumference of the clock should be no more than 44 inches.

2πr = 44

r = 44/2π

r = 7.003

Therefore, the maximum radius of the circular clock is 7 inches.
