Question

To be able to compete in a particular class, a bodybuilder can weigh in at no more than

175 pounds and no less than 145 pounds. If the clothes the wrestlers wear add 1
pound, what is the actual weight range, in pounds, for these bodybuilders (in interval
notation)?

Answer 1

Range of weight = 176 - 146 pound

Explanation:

Given:

Maximum weight = 175 pound

Minimum weight = 145 pound

Clothes weight = 1 pound

Find:

Range of weight

Computation:

Range = maximum weight - 1 pound

Range = minimum weight + 1 pound

Range = 175 - 1 pound

Range = 145 + 1 pound

Range = 174

Range = 146

Range of weight = 176 - 146 pound
