ASAP PLEASE HELP An ostrich egg has a mass of 1.2 kg to the nearest tenth of a kilogram. Find the minimum and maximum possible measurements.

Question
Answer:
The maximum possible measurement is 1.25 Kg and the minimum possible measurement is 1.15 kgSolution:Given mass of an ostrich egg is 1.2 KgWe have to find the minimum and maximum possible measurements to the nearest tenth of a kilogramThe greatest possible error in measurement nearest tenth of a kilogram, is a half a tenth of a kilogram which is:-[tex]\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]Now, the maximum value will be equal to calculated amount plus the error in measurement of value .i.e.[tex]\text { Maximum value }=1.2+\frac{1}{20}=1.2+0.05=1.25[/tex]Now, the minimum value will be equal to calculated amount minus  the error in measurement of value .i.e.[tex]\text { Minimum value }=1.2-\frac{1}{20}=1.2-0.05=1.15[/tex]Hence, maximum possible measurement is 1.25 Kg And the minimum possible measurement is 1.15 kg
