23/147 yd × 3/14 after reducing them by a factor of 2/147 what are the original dimensions of the playground in yards? Write your answer with mixed numbers

So the dimensions are 11 1/2 yds × 15 3/4 { 11 whole number 1 by 2 yards multiplied by 15 whole number 3 by 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here multiplicative property will be used .

a*1/a= 1

1* a/1= a   ( reciprocal)

23/147 yd × 3/14 will be multiplied with the reciprocal of the factor 2/147 to

get the original number.

23/147 yd*147/2 × 3/14*147/2

23/2 yds  × 441/28

11 1/2 yds × 15 3/4

So the dimensions are 11 1/2 yds × 15 3/4  11 whole number 1 by 2  multiplied by 15 whole number 3 by 4.

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.
