In a cafeteria 3/10 of the students are eating salads, and 3/5 are eating sandwiches. there are 20 students in the cafeteria. how many students are eating lunches other than salads or sandwiches?

We know that 3/10*20=6 students are eating salads.

We also know that 3/5*20=12 students are eating sandwiches.

Assuming each person only eats one thing, there are 20-12-6=2 students eating lunches other than salads or sandwiches.

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.

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.
