Answer:
|m-2.5| ≤ 0.08
2.42 ≤ m ≤ 2.58
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of interest is the one that says the positive difference from the ideal mass is at most 0.08 ounces:
|m -2.5| ≤ 0.08 . . . an absolute value inequality
The solution is found by solving the equivalent compound inequality:
-0.08 ≤ m -2.5 ≤ 0.08
2.42 ≤ m ≤ 2.58 . . . . the range of masses
