Answer: 175.1 lbs to 175.3 lbs


Explanation:

Given : The weight of an object on a particular scale is 175.2 lbs.

The measured weight may vary from the actual weight by at most 0.1 lbs.

Thus,c if the measured weight decreased by 0.1 lbs =175.2 lbs-0.1 lbs=175.1 lbs

if the measured weight increased by 0.1 lbs =175.2 lbs+0.1 lbs=175.3 lbs

Therefore, the range of actual weight will be 175.1 lbs to 175.3 lbs.
