A stadium has 3000 people, including fans and staff. The ratio of fans to staff is 17:3. If another 500 fans arrive then what is the new ratio of fans to staff?

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people =3000

Let

the number of fans=17x

The number of staff=3x

500 more fans arrived

Now the new ratio=

New ratio of fans to staff is 7:1.

step-by-step explanation:

compare

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.
