Please give me the correct answer

Choice B) The plane is at least 20 times faster than the bird

Explanation:

We'll divide the speed of the plane over the speed of the bird.

First divide each coefficient of the scientific value expressions:

7/3 = 2.33 approximately

Then divide the 10^n exponent expressions and we get

10^3 divide by 10^2 = 10^(3-2) = 10^1

So overall, the result of dividing the two speeds leads to approximately

2.33*10^1 = 2.33*10 = 23.3

This shows the plane is approximately 23.3 times faster compared to the bird. Saying "The plane is at least 20 times faster than the bird" is fairly close to the prior sentence, so the statement is valid. That's why choice B is the answer.

Choices A and C are saying similarly valid statements, just written in different formats. I think choice B is the best answer since it seems to be the most direct comparison that is fairly easy to grasp.

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.
