Robert is inspecting a shipment of 22-inch pipes. The lengths of the pipes may vary by 1%. What is the range of allowable lengths of the pipes?

The allowable lengths of pipe is from 21.78 inch to 22.22 inch.
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the each pipe in the shipment = 22 inch
The variation in the length of pipes = 1%
⇒The allowable length of pipe in the inspection = 22 inch ± 1%
Now, 1% of 22 =
So, 22 inch + 1% = 22 inch + 0.22 = 22.22 inch
and 22 inch - 1% = 22 inch - 0.22 = 21.78 inch
⇒ 22 inch ± 1% = 22.22 inch and 21.78 inch
Hence, the allowable lengths of pipe is from 21.78 inch to 22.22 inch.
