The problem states that the radius of the box is 12 inches. Substitute "r" in the circumference equation for 12 to calculate the answer.

Sure, so the question asks about how much ribbon it takes to go around the outer edge of the box. Since the box is a circle, we can find the length of the ribbon by calculating the circumference. Like Extrinix explained, the formula for calculating a circle's Circumference is \[C=\pi*r*2\], where C is the circumference, pi is the constant approximately equal to 3.14, and r is the radius of the circle. Since the problem gives us the radius equal to 12, we just need to use the equation to calculate the circumference. \[C=\pi*12*2\] \[C=\pi*24\] \[C=3.14*24\]
