Ants have two legs. elena znd andre write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, to the number of ant legs l. elena writes a = 6• l and andre writes l = 1\6 • a. do you agree with either one of the equations? expain your reasoning.

 Yes, I do agree with both the equations.

Step-by-step explanation: It is given that ants have two legs. There is a proportional relationship between the number of ants 'a' and the number of ant's legs 'l'.

So, the can write the proportionality relationship as follows -

a ∝ l.

Obviously, this can be replaced by a similar relation

where 'k' is a constant of proportionality.

Since 'k' is any constant, so its value may be 6, because it is also a constant.

Then, we can have

Thus, both the equations are correct.

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
