Answer:

Yes, Joy has enough soup to serve 22 people since 22 is part of [22,23]

Step-by-step explanation:

#First, determine both the upper and lower bounds of the soup portion.

-given that the soup portions are correct to nearest 10ml, the interval will be of [tex]\pm (10/2)mL=\pm\ 5mL[/tex]

Hence:

Upper Bound: 285ml turn it to 0.285 L

280ml

Lower Bound: 275ml turn it to 0.275 L

#Determine both the upper and lower bounds of the soup prepared.

-given that the soup prepared are correct to nearest 0.5L, the interval will be [tex]\pm (0.5/2)L=0.25\ L[/tex]

Upper Bound: 6.75 L

6.5 Litters

Lower Bound:6.25 L

#Divide the bound limits of the soup prepared by the corresponding limit of the soup portion to get the interval within which she can serve her soup

[tex]6.75/0.275=24.54 \approx25 \\\\6.25/0.285=21.92 \approx 22[/tex]

The interval of the people Joy can serve is therefore [22,25].

- 22is part of the interval and therefore Joy has enough soup to serve 22 people
