Answer:

The range of weights in the scale allowed to report in order to be compliant with local inspection agency regulations is between 14.925 pounds and 15.075 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weights should be within 0.5% of the actual weight measured.

15.0 pounds

0.005*15 = 0.075

Tolerance of 0.075 pounds

15 - 0.075 = 14.925 pounds

15 + 0.075 = 15.075 pounds

The range of weights in the scale allowed to report in order to be compliant with local inspection agency regulations is between 14.925 pounds and 15.075 pounds.

A penny is much more smaller than a quarter therefore you need more pennies to have the same length as 6 quarters that doesn't mean that the 8 pennies is longer than the 6 quarters.
