Sarah is in a kayak 250 m offshore from point A on a straight beach. A storm is brewing and Sarah wishes to go to a shelter located 900 m down the beach from point A. If Sarah

can paddle her kayak at 2 km/h and walk at 3 km/h, how far down the shore should she

beach her kayak to reach the shelter in the shortest amount of time?

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:

the correct option is b
