Bolt size b must be plus or minus .

Therefore, the smallest acceptable size will be and the largest acceptable size will be . This means that the bolt size must be . I'm not sure from the wording here whether or not we accept the endpoints. If so, then the answer will be . Also, I'm not sure whether you are supposed to find a common denominator and express as single fractions. You'll have to let me know if you need to add and subtract the fractions.
