In a cafeteria, 1 /10 of the students are eating salads , and 2/5 are eating sandwiches. there are 30 students in the cafeteria. how many students are eating lunches other than salads or sandwiches?

15 because 2/5 is 4/10 and 4/10+1/10 is 5/10 which is 1/2 and 1/2 of 30 is 15 so there has to be 15 kids eating something other than a salad or sandwich

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.
