Mary wants to fence in a rectangular run for her dogs. She has decided that the run will be 5 yards wide. A rectangle with a width of 5 yards and height of x. Which statement best describes the possible lengths of the run if she can use no more than 40 yards of fencing? at most 8 yards at most 15 yards more than 8 yards more than 15 yards

40 minutes

step-by-step explanation:

add the time and multiply by 2

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.
