A book has a front and a back and 400 pages. The front and back cover are each 0.9mm thick measured to 1 decimal place. Each page is 0.13 mm thick measured to 2 decimal places. Calculate the minimum thickness of the book.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is actually 5.17 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking you to calculate the minimum thickness so you have to find the lowest bounds.

The covers are 0.9 mm to 1 d.p so the minimum thickness is 0.85 because that is the lowest bound.

The pages are 0.13 mm to 2 d.p so the minimum thickness is 0.125 as that is the lowest bound.

0.85  x 2 = 1.7 and 0.125 x 400 = 50

50 + 1.7 = 51.7 which is the minimum length.
