I am a student and I need help on a question on upper and lower bounds. I don't know how to work out the handspan.
Ravina measured her handspan with a ruler and found it was 15cm to the nearest centimetre. Angelina measured her handspan more accurately and found it was 148mm to the nearest millimetre.
Use the upper and lower bounds of the measurement to show whether it is possible that Angelina's handspan is larger than Ravina's.
I found out that 148mm is 14.8cm. I don't know what to do next...
Thank you and help would be appreciated
Hint. What's the largest possible span for Angelina? The smallest for Ravenna?
(By the way, I don't think this is a realistic question. You couldn't really measure Angelina's span to within a millimeter with a ruler.)
