1. ms. morton likes to make weird tasting cookies. she decides to make cookies for friends and her
students. each friend will get 3 more cookies than each student. she has a total of 112 students
and 12 friends and made of total of 408 cookies for everyone. the system of equations
represents this scenario:
s y=x+3
(112x +12y = 408
ms. morton predicts that she will give each friend 4 cookies and each student 7 cookies. is she correct?
if not, how many cookies will each friend get and each student get?

Morton will give 3 cookies to each student and 6 cookies to each friend

Solution:

Let "x" be the cookies given to each student

Let "y" be the cookies given to each friend

Each friend will get 3 more cookies than each student

Therefore,

cookies given to each friend = 3 + cookies given to each student

y = x + 3 eqn 1

She has a total of 112 students  and 12 friends and made of total of 408 cookies for everyone

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

112x + 12y = 408 eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

112x + 12(x + 3) = 408

112x + 12x + 36 = 408

124x = 372

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 in eqn 1

y = 3 + 3

y = 6

Thus Morton will give 3 cookies to each student and 6 cookies to each friend

Ms. Morton predicts that she will give each friend 4 cookies and each student 7 cookies. So this is incorrect

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.

step-by-step explanation:

x=0
