If it reads 28°F, and it cannot be more than 1.2° from the ambient temperature, then
the range is between
(28-1.2)°F and (28+1.2)°F
TEMPERATURE A thermometer is guaranteed to give a temperature no more than 1.2°F from the actual temperature. If the thermometer reads 28°F, write and solve an equation to find the maximum and minimum temperatures it could be. (Note: Answer should be absolute equation, maximum value, minimum vale)
EMPERATURE A thermometer is guaranteed to give a temperature no more than 1.2°F from the actual temperature. If the thermometer reads 28°F, write and solve an equation to find the maximum and minimum temperatures it could be. (Note: Answer should be   absolute equation, maximum value, minimum vale)
