Both orders ask for 192 ounces of ice cream, however one requested their order be in 12 oz container's and the other requested 64 Oz container's. Who made the better financial decision? Show your work or explain your reasoning.

64

Step-by-step explanation:

this should be easy cause the 64 is bigger, so the parts are smaller. 192 divided by 64 is 3. 192 divided by 12 is 16. multiply, Yada yada… you get 64 is better!

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.
