Question

The heaviest land animal ever recorded (according to the Guinness Book of World Records) was a male African bush elephant. He weighed 13.5 tons measured to the nearest half-ton. How would you find the elephant’s minimum and maximum possible weights?

Answer 2

the problem states that the weight was measured to the nearest half-ton to get 13.5. therefore, it stands to reason that the weight was either rounded up to 13.5 or rounded down to 13.5, which gives us a 13.5 +/- 0.5 range to work with
