A tennis ball has a diameter of 2.7 in. How many tennis balls will fit inside of a storage unit that is 4 feet wide, 2.5 feet long, and 2 feet high?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The diameter of a tennis ball, d = 2.7 inches

We need to find the number of tennis balls will fit inside of a storage  unit that is 4 feet wide, 2.5 feet long, and 2 feet high.

Let there are x number of tennis balls.

Approximately

x = 7

Hence, there are 7 balls.

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.

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.
