Question

A skeleton was found at an archaeological dig. A technique used for estimating age indicated that the skeleton was 60 centuries old,

plus or minus 0.8 centuries. According to this estimate, what is the greatest possible age of the skeleton?
The greatest possible age of the skeleton is centuries.

Answer 1

To find the greatest possible age of the skeleton, we need to add the error to the estimate:

60 centuries + 0.8 centuries = 60.8 centuries

Therefore, the greatest possible age of the skeleton is 60.8 centuries.
