HELP!! It takes 64 inches of ribbon to make a bow and wrap the ribbon around a the box. The box takes 30 inches of ribbon. The width of the box is 12 inches. What is the height of the box?

Does the bow take 30 inces of ribbon?

*inches

if the with is 12 inches and the box takes thirty then you have 18 inches of ribbon left in the equation seeing how a box is a 3 dementinal figure it has 18 inches to share between 2 sides so you divide 18 by to and get 9 so the hight of your box would be 9

THE HEIGHT IS 5. 64 INCHES IN ALL. 30 FOR THE BOW. THAT MEANS YOU HAVE 34 INCHES LEFT. 12 INCH FOR THE LENGTH; BUT THERE IS THE BOTTOM AND TOP SO THAT'S 24. THAT MEANS THERE IS ONLY 10 INCHES LEFT FOR THE TWO HEIGHTS. H=5

To find the height of the box, we need to subtract the length of the ribbon used to wrap the box from the total length of ribbon used for the bow and wrapping. Let's break down the problem step by step:

1. Start with the total length of ribbon used for the bow and wrapping, which is 64 inches.
2. Subtract the ribbon used to wrap the box, which is 30 inches.
64 inches - 30 inches = 34 inches

Now we know that there are 34 inches of ribbon left to make the bow.

To find the height of the box, we need to consider how the remaining ribbon is used to make the bow. Since the ribbon is wrapped around both the length and width of the box, we can calculate the amount of ribbon used for each side, and then determine the total length of ribbon used for the height.

3. The box has a width of 12 inches. Ribbon is wrapped around the width twice (once on the top and once on the bottom), so the amount of ribbon used for the width is 12 inches x 2 = 24 inches.
4. Subtract the length used for the width from the remaining ribbon length:
34 inches - 24 inches = 10 inches

Now, we have 10 inches of ribbon remaining for the remaining height of the box.

5. Since the ribbon is wrapped around the length and is cut evenly between the top and bottom of the box, we can divide the remaining ribbon by 2 to get the length used for each side:
10 inches / 2 = 5 inches

Finally, the height of the box is equal to the length of ribbon used for the remaining height, which is 5 inches.

Therefore, the height of the box is 5 inches.
