To determine the upper bound of 5 kg corrected to the nearest 50 grams, follow these steps:

1. Nearest 50 grams: First, identify the nearest 50 grams to which the weight is corrected. Since 5 kg equals 5000 grams, the nearest 50 grams would be 5000 grams itself.

2. Upper bound: When rounding to the nearest 50 grams, the upper bound is the highest value that would still round down to 5000 grams. This value is just below the next 50 grams increment. The next increment after 5000 grams is 5050 grams.

3. Calculation of upper bound: The upper bound would be halfway between 5000 grams and 5050 grams. So, the upper bound is: $\text{Upper bound} = 5000 + \frac{50}{2} = 5000 + 25 = 5025 \text{ grams}$

   Therefore, the upper bound is 5025 grams, which is 5.025 kg.
