Liam made a scale drawing of a rectangular playground. He used the scale 2 inches : 3 feet. His drawing has width 18 inches and length 24 inches.

Part A
What are the length and the width of the actual playground?

Answer
width = feet
length = feet

Part B
Use a scale of 1 inch : 9 feet to draw and label a new scale drawing of the playground.

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.

step-by-step explanation:

6mm^3 or .6cm^3

      216

      /   \

  36     6

  /   \     /

6     6   6

factor trees are nice.
