Aconstruction crew has just built a new road. they built the road at a rate of 7 kilometers per week. they built 8.75 kilometers of road. how many weeks did it take them?

7 kilometers per 1 week equals 8.75 kilometers per x weeks.

7 / 1 = 8.75 / x

7 = 8.75 / x

7x = 8.75

x = 8.75 / 7

x = 1.25

It took 1.25 weeks to build 8.75 kilometers of road.

incomplete question. how do you expect anyone to you when you do not post the question in its entirety?

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.
