Greatest possible error

Full solution

Q. What is the greatest possible error for a measurement of

2

feet?

Determine precision: Determine the precision of the measurement. $\newline$ The measurement of $2$ feet is precise to the ones place since there are no decimal places or fractions indicated. $\newline$ Precision: $1$ foot
Calculate greatest possible error: Calculate the greatest possible error based on the precision. $\newline$ The greatest possible error for a measurement is half of the unit of precision. Since the precision is $1$ foot, the greatest possible error is half of that. $\newline$ Greatest possible error = $\text{Precision} / 2$ $\newline$ Greatest possible error = $1$ foot $/ 2$ $\newline$ Greatest possible error = $0.5$ feet
