At a bottling company, machine A fills a bottle with spring water and machine B accepts the bottle only if the number of fluid ounces is between 11 1/8 and 12 1/8 If machine B accepts a bottle containing fluid ounces, which of the following describes all possible value of ?
(A) |n-12| = 1/8
(B) |n+12| = 1/8
(C) |n-12| < 1/8
(D) |n+12| < 1/8
(E) |n-12| > 1/8
Please repost, "If machine B accepts a bottle containing fluid ounces, which of the following describes all possible value of ? " does not make sense.
Is it supposed to read "containing n fluid ounces"? and then "which of the following describes all possible values of filled bottles? " or does it read as something else?
| 11 1/8 - 12 | = 7/8
| 12 - 12 | = 0
| 12 1/8 - 12 | = 1/8
| 11 1/8 + 12 | = 23 1/8
| 12 + 12 | = 24
| 12 1/8 + 12 | = 24 1/8
lets try |12 - n|...
| 12 - 11 1/8 | = 7/8
| 12 - 11 7/8 | = 1/8
| 12 - 12 | = 0
| 12 - 12 1/8 | = 1/8
I think the possible answers might be off too.
