Question

A company did a quality check on all the packs of trail mix it manufactured. Each pack of trail mix is targeted to weigh 9.25 oz. A pack must weigh within 0.23 oz of the target weight to be accepted. What is the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured trail mix?

x < 9.02 or x > 9.48 because |x - 0.23| + 9.25 > 0

x < 9.25 or x > 9.48 because |x - 9.25| > 0.23

x < 9.25 or x > 9.48 because |x - 0.23| + 9.25 > 0

x < 9.02 or x > 9.48 because |x - 9.25| > 0.23

Answer 1

well the minimum weight accepted is 9.25 - 0.23=

and the maximum weight is 9.25 + 0.23 =


any packets over or under those weights are rejected.

hope this helps

Answer 2

x < 9.02 or x > 9.48 because |x – 0.23| + 9.25 > 0 ?

Answer 3

x<9.02 or x>9.48 because of the fact that the absolute value of x-9.25 > 0.23
