<h3>
Answer: $2400</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
x = Mason's salary in dollars for that month
x/6 = one-sixth of his salary
x/6+800 = total amount spent (the x/6 dollars and $800 combined)
In total, he spent half his salary. This means he spent x/2 dollars for the month overall.
Set the two items equal to one another. Solve for x.
x/6 + 800 = x/2
6(x/6 + 800) = 6*(x/2) ... see note at the bottom of the page
x+4800 = 3x
4800 = 3x-x
4800 = 2x
2x = 4800
x = 4800/2
x = 2400
His monthly salary is $2400
1/6 of this is (1/6)*2400 = 2400/6 = 400 dollars. Add on the $800 he also spent to get a total of 400+800 = 1200 dollars spent, which is exactly one half of the $2400. The answer is confirmed.

Note: I multiplied both sides by 6 to clear out the fractions. The value 6 is the LCD in this case.
Answer: the lower limit is 1.555g and the upper limit is 1.564g
Step-by-step explanation:
a mg is:
1mg = 0.001g
Then we need to look at the third digit after the decimal point.
Then the weight 1.56g is rounded around this.
Remember that if the third digit after the decimal point is 5 or bigger, then we round up.
if the third digit is smaller than 5, then we round down.
Now, the maximum possible value of this weight is when the third digit is equal to 4 (4 mg) where because it is smaller than 5, we round it down to 1.56g
Then the maximum is 1.564g
And the minimum value is when we have:
w = 1.555g
Because the third digit is a 5, we round it up to 1.56g.
So the lower limit is 1.555g and the upper limit is 1.564g
