The US has an approximate population of 3.3108 people. Each person in the US consumes an average of 14,000 grams of rice per year. Approximately how much rice is consumed by people in the US (write your answer in scientific notation)

2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

just write 2,000

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.
