50 points for 2 questions define a variable and write an inequality for each situation. 1. molly has, at most, 2 hours to work out at the gym today. 2. mishenko is hoping to save at leas $300 this month.

1.

t - time Molly at the gym (in hour)

t ≤ 2

2.

x - money that Mishenko has to save this month (in $)

x ≥ 300

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.
