Lily wants to put a ribbon border around two round clocks. Each clock has a diameter of 24 centimeters. Using 3.14 for π, approximately how many meters of ribbon does Lily need?

1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use circumference for this problem and the formula is dπ.

Plug in:

24π

Solve with pi:

24×3.14 = 75.36

Since there is two clocks, multiply:

75.36 × 2 = 150.72

In 1 meter there is 100 centimeters so divide

150.75 ÷ 100 = 1.5

So you will need 1.5 meters of ribbon.
