  • Hey Cheri! The radius of the pipe is $3.14$ inches, so you'll need $3.14$ inches of twine to cover 1/4 inch of the length of the pipe (a single loop around the pipe), right? Now, the pipe's total length, 16 feet, is 768 times that. So you'll need $768×3.14$ inches, or about 201 ft of twine. But get a little more just to be sure!
