Question

If a pipe is to be cut to a length of 9 meters accurate to within three tenths of its diameter the relationship between the length x of the pipe and its diameter y satisfies which inequality?

Answer 1

l x - 9 l ≤ 0.3y

Explanation:

Let x is the length of the pipe

Let y is the length of the diameter

Given that:

• A pipe is to be cut to a length of 9 accurate, we have : x - 9
• Within three tenths of its diameter : 0.3 y

So we have the inequality that model this situation is:

l x - 9 l ≤ 0.3y

Hope it will find you well.
