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( "======================
