Richard buys a carton of oranges and measures the weight of 1 orange in the carton Which measure gives the most precise weight?

9514 1404 393

  (a)  0.8 ounces (most precision)

  (b)  8 ounces (best precision for likely weight of an orange)

Step-by-step explanation:

The most precision is obtained by using the smallest unit of measure. On this list, the smallest unit of measure is a tenth of an ounce. That is, the measure 0.8 ounces has the most precision.

__

It is unlikely that the weight of one orange will be 0.8 ounces. The smallest unit used in a measurement likely to correspond to the weight of an orange is 1 ounce, used in the measurement 8 ounces. That measurement has better precision than 0.8 pounds, because 0.1 pounds corresponds to 1.6 ounces.
