ming mile from his house to the library and 2/3 mile from the library to the grocery store. of 11/12 mile it he goes from his house to the library to the grocery store. It is 1/4 Brandon claims that he walks a total of Which of the following shows whether Brandon is correct and why or why not?

Brandon is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Brandon is running errands for his mother.

It is 1/4 mile from his house to the library and 2/3 mile from the library to the grocery store .

Brandon claims that he walked a total of 11/12 mile if he goes from his house to the library to the grocery store.

Distance from his house to the library = 1/4 mile

Distance from the library to the grocery store = 2/3 mile

Total distance Brandon walks from his house to the library to the grocery store = Distance from his house to the library + Distance from the library to the grocery store

= 1/4 + 2/3

Make both 1/4 and 2/3 have the same denominator to be able to add

The lowest common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 3 is 12

Therefore,

1/4 + 2/3

= (3+8)/12

= 11/12

Total distance Brandon walks from his house to the library to the grocery store = 11/12 mile

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:

it would be 3 ÷by 6 because the number on each side
