Answer 1

• 43.68 in and 47.32 in

Explanation:

The actual length is 45 1/2 and the estimate is within 4% of error range.

The lower range is:

• 45 1/2 - 4% =
• 91/2 - 4% =
• 91/2*96/100 =
• 91*48/100 =
• 43.68

The higher range is:

• 45 1/2 + 4% =
• 91/2 + 4% =
• 91/2*104/100 =
• 91*47/100 =
• 47.32

So the range is between:

• 43.68 in and 47.32 in
