My Textbook defines the formula as 
$$\Delta x \times \Delta (mv) \ge \frac{ h }{ 4\pi }$$

jfraser · Answer

solve for $\Delta x$

Alright, but what should I plug in for each variable?

jfraser · Answer

every value is given except for $\Delta x$. Mass is given, and the uncertainty is given, h is a constant, and $4\pi$ is a constant
