2 Refers to the degree of exactness. The marks on a scale or other instrument tell you the precision that is possible.

3 What is the greatest precision possible with each ruler? Count the lines between the whole numbers to find the precision.

4 What is the greatest precision possible with each ruler? Count the lines between the whole numbers to find the precision.

5 What is the greatest precision possible with each ruler? Count the lines between the whole numbers to find the precision.

6 Choose the more precise measurement. Since the units are the same, we look at the decimal place. The number with the most decimal places is the most precise.

7 Choose the more precise measurement. Since the units are the same, we look at the decimal place. The number with the most decimal places is the most precise.

8 Choose the more precise measurement. Since the units are the different, we choose the smallest unit.

9 Find each sum or difference. Round your answer appropriately. Since 45 m is less precise than 0.9 m, round to the nearest whole number. The difference is…

10 Find each sum or difference. Round your answer appropriately. Since 11.4 g is less precise than 2.65 g, round to the nearest tenth. The sum is…

11 Find each sum or difference. Round your answer appropriately. Since 2 L is less precise than 1.75 L, round to the nearest whole number. The sum is…
