Algebra.Com's Answer #220992 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 n ? \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "Comment: Based on the 5 answers you listed, your posted information \n" ); document.write( "is incorrect. The bottles should be filled between 11 7/8 and 12 1/8 \n" ); document.write( "fluid ounces. \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "1st: Find the middle value between 11 7/8 and 12 1/8 \n" ); document.write( "Ans: 12 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "2nd: Find the distance from the middle to one of the end points \n" ); document.write( "Ans: 1/8 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "3rd: Since you want the difference to be \"less than\" the solution \n" ); document.write( "is |n-12|< 1/8 \n" ); document.write( "====================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "======================\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "(A) |n-12| = 1/8 \n" ); document.write( "(B) |n+12| = 1/8 \n" ); document.write( "(C) |n-12| < 1/8 \n" ); document.write( "(D) |n+12| < 1/8 \n" ); document.write( "(E) |n-12| > 1/8 \n" ); document.write( " |
