Given :

The weight of an object on a particular scale is 125.2 lbs.

The actual weight by at most 0.4 lbs.

To Find :

The range of actual weights of the object.

Solution :

It is given that uncertainty in weight is 0.4 lbs.

So, minimum weight can be( 125.2 -0.4 ) = 124.8 lbs.

Maximum weight is given by ( 125.2 + 0.4 ) = 125.6 lbs.

Therefore, the range of actual weights of the object is between :

124.8 x 125.6 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
