Samantha is hiking through a national park. The graph shows the relationship between the distance she covers (in miles) and the time she spends hiking (in hours). When Samantha has hiked for 1 1/2 hours, she has covered _
miles.

6 miles,

Step-by-step explanation:

all you simply have to do is look at the dash in between numbers 1 and 2, and that is 1½. on the 1½ line look for any points marked by the purple line (in this

case it is 6) and there ya go!

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.
