Question

Justin bought a 12 ounce bag of candy. He wants to know if it's really 12 ounces, so he uses a scale and makes four measurements. Which measurement is the most precise of the four recorded? A) 10.013 ounces B) 10.0133 ounces C) 10.03 ounces D) 10.1 ounces

Answer 1

b) 10.0133 ounces

Explanation:

the most precise measurement will be the one with more exact values.

A) 10.013 ounces B) 10.0133 ounces C) 10.03 ounces D) 10.1 ounces

as you can see, D) was the most approximate as it only has one decimal place.

To find the most exact value, look for the value with more decimal places. In this case, it would be B) because it has 4 decimal places at the end to make the measurement more accurate
