I think it's 60.5 because

the ratio in which the sweets are distributed are 7:2:2. total number of portions are 7 + 2 + 2 = 11. we are told that kruthika has 45 more sweets than mark. if we take the ratio of mark to kruthika its 7:2. kruthika has 5 portions more than mark. 5 portions are equivalent to 45 sweets. Therefore 1 portion is equal to 5.5 sweets. altogether they have 11 portions, therefore total number of sweets are 11 x 5.5 sweets = 60.5 sweets.

Hope this helps you

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.
