The maximum possible measurement is 1.25 Kg
and the minimum possible measurement is 1.15 kg
Solution:
Given mass of an ostrich egg is 1.2 Kg
We have to find the minimum and maximum possible measurements to the nearest tenth of a kilogram
The 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
