Given :
You order 1.5 pounds of turkey at the deli.
You will accept the turkey if its weight is between 1.54 and 1.46 pounds.
To Find :
What absolute value inequality can be used to describe the tolerance of the weight of the turkey.
Solution :
It is given that the weight cannot be less that 1.46 pounds.
So, mathematical equation is :
x ≥ 1.46 .....1 )
Also, weight cannot be greater than 1.54 pounds.
x ≤ 1.54 ......2)
Combining equation 1 and 2 we get :
1.46 ≤ x ≤ 1.54
Hence, this is the required solution.
