Andy weighs a loaded truck on a platform scale marked in increments of 1000 pounds. What is the possible error of measurement? A. 1000 lb. B. 500 lb. C. 250 lb. D. 100 lb.

B. 500

Step-by-step explanation:

the scale only measures increments of 1,000 pounds, e.g. its scale is 0 pounds, 1,000 pounds, 2,000 pounds, 3,000 pounds, etc.

What happens if something weighs exactly 1,500 pounds (or 500, 2500, 3500, etc)? The scale will measure either 1,000 or 2,000 pounds, so the maximum margin of error is ± 500 pounds.

the correct answer is d
