Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• shortest: 11 1/8 in
• longest: 11 3/8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be no surprise that the shortest allowable length is the nominal length less the full allowed tolerance:

  11 1/4 - 1/8 = 11 1/8 . . . inches

__

Likewise, the longest allowable length is the nominal length plus the maximum tolerance:

  11 1/4 + 1/8 = 11 3/8 . . . inches

_____

Of course, you know that 1/4 = 2/8, so adding or subtracting 1/8 gives the fractions shown above.
