there are 50 petals on 10 purple orchids each purple orchid has the same number of petals find the number of petals on the purple orchid

5 petals per purple orchid

Step-by-step explanation:

because if they all have the same amount of petals then you divide the total petals (50) by the number of orchids (10) and get the (5) orchid petals per purple orchid.

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.
