A biker cycles 9 miles in 2/3 of an hour. a
Make a chart and fill it in to show how far he will bike if he maintains the same pace for 2 hours, 3 hours, 3.5 hours

2 hours: 27 miles, 3 hours: 40.5 miles, 3.5 hours: 47.25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) If a hiker hikes 9 miles in 2/3 of an hour, he will hike 4.5 (Half of 2/3 is 1/3 and half of 9 is 4.5) miles in 1/3 of an hour and 13.5 miles per hour. (1/3 times 3 gives us a whole and 4.5 times 3 is 13.5)

2.) 2 hours: 13.5 * 2 = 27 miles

3.) 3 hours: 13.5 * 3 = 40.5 miles

4.) 3.5 hours: 13.5 * 3.5 = 47.25 miles

4a. is 3 miles every hour

4b. is 1/3 of an hour per mile

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.
