WRITE THE GREATEST POSSIBLE ERROR FOR EACH MEASUREMENT.
43mL
I don't understand the question
It depends on the graduations. I assume on this beaker you have 40ml, 50 ml marks. So the 3 is an estimated digit. A safe assumption is +-.5ml error.
I need to find the gratest possible error for each of the following measurments.
45.98mg 12 1/4 in. 54.4cm
45.98 mg
To determine the greatest possible error for a measurement of 43mL, we need to consider the precision of the measuring instrument. If the instrument, such as a beaker, has graduations marking every 10 mL, then the 43 mL measurement would fall between the 40 mL and 50 mL marks.
Since the last digit, 3, is an estimated digit and falls within the range of 40 mL to 50 mL, we can assume a potential error of ±0.5 mL. This means that the actual volume could be as low as 42.5 mL (43 mL - 0.5 mL) or as high as 43.5 mL (43 mL + 0.5 mL).
Therefore, the greatest possible error for the measurement of 43 mL, based on the assumption of ±0.5 mL error, would be ±0.5 mL.
