Mathematics for IGCSE & O level - Limits Of Accuracy (Section 2 - No. 11)
A volume is given as 468 ml to the nearest millilitre. Between which two values does the volume lie?
467 ml and 469 ml
467.5 ml and 468.5 ml
467 ml and 468 ml
468 ml and 469 ml
Explanation
The measurement is to the nearest millilitre, so the lower bound is 468 - 0.5 = 467.5 ml and the upper bound is 468 + 0.5 = 468.5 ml.
