In a recent study of a beehive, it was found that there was a total of 375 bees. There were twenty more worker bees than nurse bees. The number of drone bees was five more than three times the number of nurse bees. How many of each kind of bee was in the hive?

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:

correct answer is b. 27/8

step-by-step explanation:

but there’s no any figure there!
