Question

Two bicycles are being shipped in a box. Each bike weighs 9.82 kg. The uncertainty is half the precision.

What is the maximum combined weight of the two bicycles? How to do this break down

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The maximum combined weight of the two bicycles can be calculated by adding the maximum weight of each bicycle, taking into account the uncertainty.

First, find the maximum weight of one bicycle:
Maximum weight of one bicycle = 9.82 kg + (0.5 * 0.01 kg) = 9.82 kg + 0.005 kg = 9.825 kg

Then, calculate the maximum combined weight of the two bicycles:
Maximum combined weight = 2 * Maximum weight of one bicycle
Maximum combined weight = 2 * 9.825 kg = 19.65 kg

Therefore, the maximum combined weight of the two bicycles is 19.65 kg.
