Anew hybrid car has a 18-gallon gas tank. on one tank of gas, the owner can drive 540 miles. the number of miles traveled varies directly with the number of gallons of gas the car uses. a. write an equation that relates the number of miles traveled with the number of gallons of gas used. b. how many miles can the owner travel on 12 gallons of gas?

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.
