Question

CEREAL A company claims that its boxes of cereal contain 19.1 ounces of

cereal. The actual amount of cereal in the box can be within 0.5 ounce of the
advertised amount. What is the range of possible amounts of cereal c in a box?

Answer 1

The range of possible amounts of cereal c in a box can be calculated by adding and subtracting the tolerance of 0.5 ounces from the advertised amount of 19.1 ounces.

So the minimum amount of cereal in the box is:
19.1 - 0.5 = 18.6 ounces

And the maximum amount of cereal in the box is:
19.1 + 0.5 = 19.6 ounces

Therefore, the range of possible amounts of cereal c in a box is between 18.6 and 19.6 ounces.
