Question

Alina measured a distance to be 2.18 miles. What is the margin of error?

Answer 1

$\star$ AnswEr :

Remember that, we usually take the error to be half of the smallest unit in a measurement

1. The error in this case = 1/2 x 0.01

=> 0.005

2. The minimum value = 2.18 - 0.005

=> 2.175

3. The maximum value = 2.18 + 0.005

=> 2.185

Therefore, the margin of error is 2.175 miles to 2.185 miles .

Hope it helps! ._.
