Leo reads 60 pages in 2 hours. how long will it take him to read 17 pages at the same rate?

The correct answer is that it will take Leo 34 minutes to read 17 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of pages read by Leo = 60

Time of reading = 2 hours

2. How long will it take Leo to read 17 pages at the same rate?

Rate of Leo = 60 pages in 2 hours

If we divide the rate by 2, we have then that Leo will read 30 pages in one hour or in 60 minutes

Now, we use the Rule of Three Simple, this way:

Time to read 17 pages = (17 * 60)/30

Time to read 17 pages = 1,020/30 = 34 minutes

The correct answer is that it will take Leo 34 minutes to read 17 pages.

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.
