A twizzler factory makes regular 8in, king size 10in, extra long 16in, and snack size 3in twizzlers. Before packaging the candy, the size is checked and any pieces that have a percent error of 1.5% or more are rejected. Would every size of twizzler be rejected for being 0.14in too short? Why or why not?

Answer:

Every size of Twizzlers will not be rejected for being 0.14in too short.

Explanation:

l=12cm

10% of 12cm=1.2 cm

L=12-1.2=11.8cm

W=7cm

10% of 7cm=0.7
