Question

Claire estimates the her brother is 4 feet tall. When they get measured at the doctor's office her brother's height is 4 feet 2 inches. What was the error, expressed in inches?​

Answer 1

Answer: 2 is less than 5 so when she rounded she ended up with 4 feet and the doctors didn’t round

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this is correct

Answer 2

Answer: 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The error is the amount Clair is off by. Both figures involve "4 feet", but the actual measurement has the additional "2 inches" added on. So this is why she is off by 2 inches.
