Answer 4

Well lets see.  I don't think absolute value has to factor in here.  

Lets call the acceptable weight of the bag "x".  According to the text, if

x=16 then OK, also

x>16 - 0.3 then OK

therefore an acceptable range for X is:

16>=X> 16 - 0.3

The text you have provided a does not state the condition where the bag weighs more than 16 oz.  Assuming the problem states an +/- 0.3 oz acceptable range, then we have:

16.3>x>15.7

Answer 5

two machines that are set to weight under 3oz or over 16 oz....yeah???
