Answer:

21 cables

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the cables come in 250-foot coils, you cannot have a piece of one cable. So, if you take the total amount of cable you need (5,127 feet) and divide it by how long a single cable is (250 feet).

5,127 divided by 250 is 20.508, but you cannot have a piece of one cable. So, you round up to the nearest whole number, 21.

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. R is the set of all integers with absolute value less than 10, thus

$R=\{a\in \mathbb{Z}\ :\ |a|$

2. A is its subset containing all natural numbers less than 10, thus

$A\subset R\\ \\A=\{b\in \mathbb{N}\ :\ b$

3. B is the set of all integer solutions of inequality 2x+5<9 that are less than 10 by absolute value (and therefore, it is also a subset of R). First, solve the inequality:

$2x+5$
