Question

Allison has a ruler that is marked in fourths of an inches and a tape measure that is marked in halves of an inch which measuring tool will give Allison a more precise measure

Answer 1

The smaller the increments of measurement, the more precise the measuring tool is because it provides you with smaller fractions. Therefore, the ruler that marks in fourths of an inch is more precise than a tape measure that is marked in halves of an inch.

Answer 2

1/4 of an inch is smaller than 1/2of an inch, therefore the ruler would be more precise.
