4.) A dog and a cat are both running towards a squirrel. The dog is 45 meters to the left of the squirrel and the cat is 33 meters to the right of the squirrel. Let the squirrels position
be represented by 0.
a.) Draw a diagram representing the situation
b.) If the dog is running to the right at 5 meters per second, how long will it take her to
reach the squirrel?
c.) If the cat is running to the left at 4 meters per second, how long will it take her to
reach the squirrel?
d.) If they each run for 20 seconds, describe the final position of the dog and cat.

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.
