Answer:

4 invitations

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the circles is:

[tex]d=12cm[/tex]

and she wants to put a ribbon around the edge of each, so we need to know how much the circumference of the circles measures (the perimeter):

[tex]c=d*\pi[/tex]

replacing the diameter value:

[tex]c=12\pi[/tex]

And since she have 180 cm of ribbon, she can only make:

[tex]\frac{180}{12\pi} =\frac{180}{12*3.1416} =\frac{180}{37.7} =4.77[/tex]

She can make 4.77 invitations, which means she can only make 4 complete invitations.
