On a ruler increasing by increments of 16ths of an inch, how would 1 measurement greater than 7/16 in be labeled? remember fo simplify

Often, rulers are not labeled. Rather, the marks change length according to the fraction they represent. One mark greater than 7/16 is 8/16. It will be the longest mark, halfway between the integer marks, so will represent 1/2.

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.
