Question

An object weighs exactly 9 pounds. You measure the object to weigh 9.45 pounds and your friend measures the object to weigh 9.012 pounds. Who has the most accurate measurement?

Answer 1

Answer: According to my understanding, the answer is the friend; the friend has the most accurate measurement.

Step-by-step explanation: When you measured the object, you got 9.45 lbs, but when your friend measured it, they got 9.012 lbs. You were .45 pounds off, while the friend was only .012 pounds off.

.45 is greater than .012.
