Answer: I x - 16ozI ≤ 0.4oz
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight is supposed to be exactly 16 oz.
But we can accept a maximum error of 0.4oz.
Now, if x is the weight of the sugar bag, the error can be calculated as:
E = x - 16oz
if x is larger than 16oz, we have E positive, which means that we have more sugar than 16oz
if x is smaller than 16 oz, we have E negative, which means that we are a little bit short of sugar in the bag.
Now, we know that the maximum error acceptable is 0.4 oz (negative or positive)
So we can write:
-0.4oz ≤ E ≤ 0.4oz
-0.4 ≤ x - 16oz ≤ 0.4oz
Now, if we apply absolute value to the error, we get:
I x - 16ozI ≤ 0.4oz
So the correct option is the fourth one (or the bottom one)
