To determine the greatest possible error for a measurement of 8 quarts, we typically need to know the precision of the measuring device used. If we assume that the measurement is precise to the nearest quart, the greatest possible error would be ±0.5 quarts.
Thus, for a measurement of 8 quarts, the greatest possible error would be:
- Lower bound: 8 quarts - 0.5 quarts = 7.5 quarts
- Upper bound: 8 quarts + 0.5 quarts = 8.5 quarts
Therefore, the greatest possible error for a measurement of 8 quarts is ±0.5 quarts.
Thus, for a measurement of 8 quarts, the greatest possible error would be:
- Lower bound: 8 quarts - 0.5 quarts = 7.5 quarts
- Upper bound: 8 quarts + 0.5 quarts = 8.5 quarts
Therefore, the greatest possible error for a measurement of 8 quarts is ±0.5 quarts.
