Question

Food storage contains labeled with a 1.5 quart capacity must have an acutal capacity within 0.02 quarts of the capacity stated on the label. Select the equation that represnets the minimum actual capacity and maximum actual capacity allowed for products labeled as 1.5 quart food storage containers.

Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that:

If Capacity on label = 1.5 quarts

Actual capacity will be within 0.02 quartz of the capacity stated on label

The actual capacity of the container labeled 1.5 quarts will hence equal:

Let actual capacity = a

| a - capacity in label | = 0.02

| a - 1.5 | = ± 0.02

a - 1.5 = ± 0.02

Hence,

Minimum actual capacity :

a = - 0.02 + 1.5 = 1.48

Maximum actual capacity :

a = 0.02 + 1.5 = 1.52
