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. which inequality describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut? a: |0.25 – x| ≤ 12 b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25 c: |12 – 0.25| ≤ x d: |12 + 0.25| ≤ x

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.

step-by-step explanation:

828. all there is to it!

here, if you ever need with rounding (or other forms of arithmetic/math) again, use this:

thats the rounding one, but if you just click the top left, it shows you all the calculators you may need!

this shows a reflection over the x-axis and is translated one unit down and 6 units to the right (x + 6, y - 1)

hope this !
