b) $25 million to $50 million

c) $250 million to $500 million

d) $0.25 million to $2.5 million

Answer 1

Gayle would like to have a net worth that is twice her current net worth but less than 1/10 of Oprah's net worth. The range of values that would satisfy Gayle is $50 million to $250 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the range of values that would satisfy Gayle, we need to consider that she wants her net worth to be twice her current net worth but less than 1/10 of Oprah's net worth. Currently, Gayle's net worth is $25 million.

To find twice her net worth, we multiply it by 2, which gives us $50 million. To find 1/10 of Oprah's net worth, we divide her net worth by 10, which gives us $250 million. Therefore, the range of values that would satisfy Gayle is $50 million to $250 million.
