Answer

$5\frac{13}{16} \ in,5\frac{11}{16} \ in,\frac{1}{8} \ in$

Work Step by Step

The upper limit is the measurement + tolerance, that is, $$ 5\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{16}=5\frac{13}{16} \ in .$$ The lower limit is the measurement - tolerance, that is, $$ 5\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{16}=5\frac{11}{16} \ in .$$ The tolerance interval = upper limit - lower limit, that is, $$ 5\frac{13}{16} \ in-5\frac{11}{16} \ in=\frac{2}{16} \ in=\frac{1}{8} \ in .$$
