Question

Dan measures an object to the nearest fourth inch. He records the length as 4 1/4 inches. Geri measures the same object the nearest half inch. Could Dan and Geri get the same measurement? Explain.

Answer 1

no because u cant get the same answer by measuring with a half inch

Answer 2

Geri's measurements will never have 1/4 inch as part of the measurement, as it will be rounded to the nearest 1/2 inch.

Dan and Geri cannot get the same measurement for whatever object it is that Dan has measured. (They may get the same measurement on other objects.)
