Question
a baking scale measures mass to the tenth of a gram, up to 650 grams. A cup of flour is placed on the scale and results in a measure of 121.8 grams. Which of the following statements is not true ?
A- The exact mass of the cup of flour must be between 121.7 and 121.9 grams
B- The cup of flour has a mass of exactly 121.8 grams
C- Given the limitations of the scale, the measurement has an appropriate level of accuracy.
D- To the nearest gram, the cup of flour has a mass of 123 grams.
