In woodshop class, you must cut several pieces of wood to within 3/16 inch of the teacher's specifications. Let (s-x) represent

the difference between the specification s and the measured length x of a cut piece.
(a)Write an absolute value inequality that describes the values of x that are within the specifications.

(b) The length of one piece of wood is specified to be s=5 1/8 inches. Describe the acceptable lengths for this piece.

Answer:

  (a) |s - x| ≤ 3/16

  (b) 4 15/16 ≤ x ≤ 5 5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The absolute value of the difference from spec must be no greater than than the allowed tolerance:

  |s - x| ≤ 3/16

__

(b) Put 5 1/8 for s in the above equation and solve.

  |5 1/8 - x| ≤ 3/16

  -3/16 ≤ 5 1/8 -x ≤ 3/16

  3/16 ≥ x -5 1/8 ≥ -3/16 . . . . multiply by -1 to get positive x

  5 5/16 ≥ x ≥ 4 15/16 . . . . . . add 5 1/8

Pieces may be between 4 15/16 and 5 5/16 inches in length.

The graph of an arithmetic sequence is shown.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The fifth term is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph

we have the ordered pairs

(1,5),(2,5.5),(3,6),(4,6.5),(5,7)

so

Let

a_1=5\\a_2=5.5\\a_3=6\\a_4=6.6\\a_5=7

The common difference in this arithmetic sequence is 0.5

The value of the fifth term is a_5

therefore

The fifth term is 7

xeze [42]

Answer:

9 fruit baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Steve sold 36 fruit baskets for a school fundraiser.

Evie sold 25% of the number of baskets that Steve sold.

<u>Question asked:</u>

How many fruit baskets did Evie sell?

Solution:

<u>As given that Evie sold 25% of the number of baskets that Steve sold.</u>

Number of baskets sold by Evie = 25% of 36

                                                      =\frac{25}{100}\times36\\\\  =\frac{900}{100}\\ \\=9

Thus, 9 fruit baskets sold by Evie.
