Explain the term least significant bit (LSB).

the bit in a binary number which is the lowest numerical value

Sometimes abbreviated as LSB, the least significant bit is the lowest bit in a series of numbers in binary. It is either the leftmost or rightmost bit in a binary number, depending on the computer's architecture. If the LSB is on the right, the architecture is called "little-endian." If the LSB is on the left, the architecture is called "big-endian." For example, in a little-endian architecture, the LSB of binary number 00000001 is 1.

step-by-step explanation:

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.
