Question

Clare estimates that her brother is 4 feet tall. When they get measured at the doctor's office, her brother's actual height is 4 feet, 2 inches. Should Clare's or the doctor's measurement be considered the actual height?

Answer 1

Answer: The Doctor's.

Explanation:

Claire's estimate was simply that, an estimate. The doctor's measurement on the other hand is the actual height of her brother because he actually got measured.

This means that the doctor's measurement is more accurate and would make more sense to be used.
