Alison is buying notebooks for school. Small notebooks cost $3 each, and large notebooks cost $5 each. If Alison needs to buy at least 12 notebooks and has no more than $45 to spend, what is the maximum number of large notebooks she can buy?

9 notebooks

Step-by-step explanation:

It says “what’s the maximum of large notebooks can she buy” So basically I guess just large notebooks.

tangent

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.
