At the beginning of the day there were 90 little fish in the pond. At the end of the day there were 52 little fish in the pond. Find the percent decrease from the beginning of the day to the end of the day. Round to the nearest percent. *

42%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the difference in the number of fishes from the beginning of the day to the end of the day.

90 -52

= 38 fishes

Therefore the percent decrease can be calculated as follows

= 38/90 × 100

= 0.422 × 100

= 42.2 %

= 42% ( to the nearest cent)

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.
