Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a scale measures weight to the nearest 0.1 pounds. Our task is to find the most appropriate way to report the weight using this scale.

We can do this problem with the help of options one by one.

Option A :

152.2 pound - In this value, the nearest measure is 0.1. It is possible.

152.127 pounds - There are three values after decimal. It is not possible as the scale measures to the nearest pounds.

152 pounds  and 200 pound - Both of the numbers are rounded figures. It is not possible to measure to the nearest pounds.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " 152.2 pounds ".
