Using that measurement, he claims that the exact distance he drives to work is 11.7 miles. Use complete sentences to explain why jullian is incorrect

Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation: Jullian's claim that the distance she drives to work is exactly 11.7miles is incorrect because, in other to record or get the exact result of a certain calculation such as Jullian's Distance, the value of the distance obtained will not be approximated or rounded. In this scenario, Distance was to the nearest tenth of a mile, thereby altering the true outcome of the calculation.

The word exact means that what is stated is very precise and does not fall below or above in any respect. However, a number whose accuracy is to the nearest tenth of a mile, violates this assertion.
