By finding the circumference of the plate, we conclude that the ribbon must be 43.96 in long.
How long does the ribbon need to be?
Remember that for a circle of radius R, the circumference is:
C = 2*pi*R
In this case, the ribbon must be equally long to the circumference of the plate. We know that the diameter of the plate is 14 inches, and the radius is half of that, then we get:
R = 14in/2 = 7in
Replacing that on the circumference equation we get:
C = 2*3.14*7in = 43.96 in
The ribbon must be 43.96 in long.
