Answer

$0.5$

Work Step by Step

Step 1: $1542$ lb can represent any value between $1541.5$ lb and $1542.5$ lb. Step 2: Substituting both the ends of this range into the inequality should give the same result: $|1542.5-1542|\leq x$ $|0.5|\leq x$ $0.5\leq x$ $|1541.5-1542|\leq x$ $|-0.5|\leq x$ $0.5\leq x$ Step 3: Therefore, the answer is $0.5$.
