Lacey's favorite brand of cereal comes in a 20-ounce box. The manufacturer of the cereal requires a tolerance of 0.5 ounces-that is, as long as the box of cereal is within 0.5 ounces of 20 ounces, the box can be sent to the store to be sold Write an absolute value inequality that describes the acceptable weights, w, of a 20- ounce box of cereal. Explain how you came up with your inequality.
