Eliot is simplifying a radical. his work is shown. which statement best applies to eliot’s mathematical work?

Answer is C.

The work shown above is correct; however, 2√16 maybe simplified further.

because √16 = 4

so  2√16 = 2 * 4 = 8

The work shown above is correct; however, 2/16  may be simplified further.

Step-by-step explanation:

add an image

step-by-step explanation:

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.
