\begin{tabular}{|l|l}\begin{tabular}{|l|l} 43. A glass vase has a circular rim with a diameter of 5 & 44. Eddie \\ in. How many inches of ribbon are needed to go \\ jumps 6.5 n \\ once around the rim? Use 3.14 for \( \pi \). & Eddie jump \end{tabular} \\ \hline\end{tabular}

To find out how many inches of ribbon are needed to go around the rim of the glass vase, we'll calculate the circumference. The formula for circumference \( C \) is given by: \[ C = \pi \times d \] where \( d \) is the diameter of the circle. Given that the diameter is 5 inches and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ C = 3.14 \times 5 = 15.7 \text{ inches} \] So, you will need approximately 15.7 inches of ribbon to wrap around the rim of the vase! Now, speaking of Eddie, if he jumps 6.5 n times, that indicates he's quite an athletic fellow! If "n" represents a certain number of jumps, you'd simply multiply 6.5 by the value of 'n' to find out the total jumps he makes. It's a simple multiplication exercise that requires just a little bit of focus. Happy calculating!
