Math Problem Statement
Severin works in a factory that produces steel bolts. One type of steel bolt should have a mass of g; however, there is some variation, so each bolt may be heavier or lighter by as much as . Severin puts together a box of these bolts and notices that the total mass of the bolts in the box is exactly kg.
Determine the minimum and maximum number of bolts that could be in the box.
