Do you want the exact form or decimal form?
I believe 2 2/3 quarts of the mixture. Cheers!
In order to find the total number of roses, we can use multiplication. Since there are 6 roses on each bush, we can say that the answer is: 6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6. Since multiplication is a way to quickly add the same number, we can use 6*10. This becomes 60.
Good luck :D
Believe it or not, :), the width of the ribbon needs to be known to get the right answer. If the ribbon had an infinitely small width the ribbon needed would just be the perimeter.
P=2(L+W)
P=2(12+15)
P=54 in
However an infinitely small width is not something that has any practical application. For example, if the width of the ribbon were 1/2 in.
P=2((L+1)+W)
P=2(16+12)
P=56 in So the perimeter increased by 2 in when the ribbon was only 1/2 in wide.
The "infinitely small" width and the perimeter of 54 in is only a decent approximation if the ribbon were a very thin string.
