ones

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Jim wants to divide 762 coupons equally among 9 stores.

So dividing 762 by 9, we get

= 84.66

The position of the digit before the decimal place start with 'ones' and then proceeds to tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.

Therefore, the first digit of the quotient is in the ones place of the position value or place value.

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.
