Why are you allowed to move the decimal points before dividing with decimals?

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.

step-by-step explanation:

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
