How much four digit numbers can be made with 0 1 2 3

first digit   and     second digit     and    third digit     and    fourth digit

3 choices    x       3 remaining       x    2  remaining     x       1 remaining     = 18

(the first digit has only 3 possibilities because 0 cannot be the first digit)

This is assuming each digit can only be used once.

18

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.
