The total length of a beach is 14.4 kilometers. If lifeguards are stationed every 0.06 kilometers, including one at the end of the beach, how many lifeguards will there be on the beach?

240

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 14.4 by 0.06, as the total distance is 14.4 kilometers and lifeguards are stationed every 0.06 kilometers.

answer: evaluate the objective function at each vertex to determine which - and -values, if any, maximize or minimize the function. example: find the minimum value and maximum value of the objective function f ( x , y ) = 4 x + 5 y , subject to the following constraints

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.
