  2. m = measurement of the object you are making. g = the given measurement. Error = the amount in which the object you are making cannot be off. Formula:

  3. 1. For a door to meet specifications at a carpentry shop the width must be within ½ inch of the expected width of the door. The shop gets an order for doors that are 4 ½ feet wide. Write an inequality that expresses the range of widths for acceptable doors. What is the formula? Name the given measure. (g) g = 4 ½ feet = 54 in UNITS MUST MATCH What is the margin of error? error = ½ inch Now plug in Your information.

  4. 2. For a door to meet specifications at a carpentry shop the width must be within 1/8 inch of the expected width of the door. The shop gets an order for doors that are 4 feet wide. Write an inequality that expresses the range of widths for acceptable doors. What is the formula? Name the given measure. (g) g = 4 feet = 48 in UNITS MUST MATCH What is the margin of error? error = 1/8 inch Now plug in Your information.

  5. 3. When manufacturing ¼ inch bolts the difference between the size of the bolt and ¼ inch must be at most 3/100 inch to be acceptable. Write an inequality for the acceptable size of bolts using b for bolt size. What is the formula? Name the given measure. (g) g = ¼ inch What is the margin of error? error = 3/100 inch Now plug in Your information.

  6. 4. When manufacturing 7/16 inch bolts the difference between the size of the bolt and 7/16 inch must be at most 1/100 inch to be acceptable. Write an inequality for the acceptable size of bolts using b for bolt size. What is the formula? Name the given measure. (g) g = 7/16 inch What is the margin of error? error = 1/100 inch Now plug in Your information.

  7. 5. When Spheres-R-Us ships bags of golf balls, each bag must contain 510 balls, plus or minus 5 balls. Write an inequality which represents an acceptable number of golf balls in each bag. Name the given measure. (g) What is the formula? g = 510 balls What is the margin of error? error = 5 balls Now plug in Your information.
