A measurement is given. Find the minimum and maximum possible measurements.
Fencing sections come in lengths of
Tofind:the maximum and minimum possible measurements.
Answer to Problem 18P
Minimum measurement =7.5 ft and maximum measurement =8.5 ft
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Fencing sections come in lengths of 8 ft to the nearest foot
Calculation:
The degree of accuracy is half a unit of measure.
The measurement was made to the nearest foot, so the greatest possible error is half of 1 ft that is 0.5 ft.
Therefore,
Minimum measurement
Maximum measurement
