Question

Each half-inch of a ruler is divided evenly into eight divisions. What is the level of accuracy of this measurement tool?

Answer 1

It’s a elongated scale using decimeters

Answer 2

The level of accuracy of the measurement ruler measurement tool is 1/16 of an inch

Explanation:

The accuracy of a measurement tool is determined by the ability of the tool measure the accurate value of the actual or standard measurement. The accuracy of a measurement tool depends on its ability to take small measurements

The parameter given includes;

The number of divisions on each 1/2 inch of the ruler = 8

Therefore, the smallest divisions on the ruler = (1/2) inch ÷ 8 = 1/16 inch

Therefore, the level of accuracy of the measurement ruler measurement tool = 1/16 of an inch.
