A family wants to have 12 guests over for a special dinner party for the Super Bowl. They want to serve each guest a 6 oz. steak. They purchased
pounds of steak for their guests. Did they purchase enough steak?

they need to purchase 72 oz of steak or 4.5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is unclear but 12 guests multiplied by 6 oz per guest is 72 oz of steak. 72 oz divided by 16 oz per pound is 4.5 pounds. they need to buy 4.l5 pounds of steak.

3; 9 is 8 to -4

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.
