Alana and two of her friends evenly split the cost of a meal. they determine that each person owes $14.68. how much was the entire cost of the meal?

$44.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Alana and her two friends evenly split the cost of meal.

Total number of person = 3

They determine that each person owes the cost of meal = $14.68

So we will multiply each person's cost by 3

The cost of entire meal = 14.68 × 3

                                       = $44.04

The entire cost of the meal was $44.04

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?

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.
