Step-by-step explanation:
The actual question is How many inches of ribbon Peter will need to make the "X".
Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the diagonal of a square with 12 cm sides is:

Since the "X" requires two diagonals, the length of ribbon required is:

The length required, rounded to the nearest centimeter, is 34 cm.
5, 20, 80, 320, 1280, 5120, 20480, 81920, 327680, 1310720, 5242880, 20971520
The 12th term would be 20,971,520
Everything is being multiplied by 4 each time
1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 quart = 32 ounces
1 gallon = 128 ounces
9 gallons = 1,152 ounces
Filling 8 ounce cups = 1,152 / 8 = 144 cups
4\9=.444444444
