Nicole and Landon were determining what exactly their potato chips could weigh and their work is shown below. Determine who is correct, the error with the other person's thinking, and one possible value other than 9.5 ounces for the weight of the potato chips ege Math Unit 2 YThe Frito-Lay Company that makes Lay's Potato Chip admits that a bag of chips that is labeled as 9.5 ounces will rarely weigh exactly 9.5 ounces.

Manufacturing analytics conclude that the following equation models the possible weights of a 9.5 ounce bagthe error with the other person's thinking, and one possible value other than 9.5 ounces for the weight of the potato

The given inequality is x-9.5≤0.3 .............................. (1) ⇒x-9.5≤0.3⇒-0.3≤x-9.5≤0.3⇒-0.3+9.5≤x-9.5+9.5≤0.3+9.5⇒9.2≤x≤9.8 from the above solution, it is clear that Nicole is correct. The error in the solution by Landon is in the first step. The right solution is, x-9.5≤0.3⇒x-9.5≥-0.3 or x-9.5≤0.3⇒x-9.5+9.5≥-0.3+9.5 or x-9.5+9.5≤0.3+9.5⇒x≥9.2 or x≤9.8 The one possible value other than 9.8 ounces is 9.2 ounces (answer)
