Answer 1

meter stick

Explanation:

The precision of a measuring instrument refers to its ability to measure very small increments.

For instance, the meter rule can measure lengths to a precision of about ±0.1cm. Hence, the smaller the increment that a measuring instrument can measure, the more precise the measuring instrument is.
