To represent the situation with an equation, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is given by:

\[ P = 2l + 2w \]

where \( P \) is the perimeter, \( l \) is the length, and \( w \) is the width.

Given that the perimeter \( P \) is 240 cm and the width \( w \) is 12 cm, we can substitute these values into the equation:

\[ 240 = 2l + 2(12) \]

This can be simplified to:

\[ 240 = 2l + 24 \]

This equation can be used to find the length \( l \).
