#22, section 1.2

Hi, Dr. Long. I am having trouble seeing what they are asking for in this problem. The book does not include a similar example. My first assumption would be to get upper bound by taking each value up by .4999999999999999-> infinity cm and multipying out L*W*H. Then down by .5 cm to get lower bound. Am I reading this question correctly?

No, it says that the measurements are to the nearest centimeter. Hence, while it says 3cm, it could be anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5... Now do your L*W*H calculations....
