How could somebody use the decimal for 1 over 3 to find the decimal for 2 over 3

1/3 is equivalent to the repeating decimal 0.333333...

To obtain the repeating decimal for 2/3, just multiply this result by 2:

2(0.333333... ) = 0.666666...

2/3 is 1/3 + 1/3

So if you know the decimal for 1/3, you can add the two numbers together to get what 2/3 is.

1/3 = 0.33 (rounded)

2/3 = 0.66 (rounded)

0.33 + 0.33 = 0.66 (True) ∴ 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3

hope this helps

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.
