Question

The upper limit of the range of possible measurements is known as the upper bound. For instance, the values of the measurement 47 cm could lie anywhere between 46.5 and 47.5. Here 47.5 is the upper bound for 47, measured to the nearest centimeter. What would be the upper bound for 22 m, correct to the nearest meter?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the upper bound for 22 meters, correct to the nearest meter, we need to consider the range of possible measurements when rounded to the nearest meter.

When rounding to the nearest meter, the value 22 meters could lie anywhere between 21.5 meters and 22.5 meters. Therefore, the upper bound for 22 meters, correct to the nearest meter, is 22.5 meters.
