Ella went to Crafting World Plus to buy fabric. She is trying to decide between polka-dot fabric and striped fabric. It costs $15 to buy 4 yards of the polka-dot fabric.
)) This equation describes the cost of the striped fabric, where y represents the cost in
dollars and x represents the amount of fabric in yards:
y = 2.55x
)) Which type of fabric is cheaper?
the striped fabric
the polka-dot fabric
)) How much cheaper is that fabric?
cheaper per yard

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.
