Question

1. Reasoning The dimensions of the

nation's smallest post office are 8 feet
4 inches by 7 feet 3 inches. Why would
you use the measurement 8 feet 4 inches
instead of 7 feet 16 inches?

Answer 1

The measurement 8 feet 4 inches is used because it is the most accurate way to represent the dimensions of the post office. 7 feet 16 inches would round the measurements to the nearest foot, which is not a precise way to measure the dimensions.
