Question

making measurements
thermometer
the calibration of this thermometer is to a single
unit, 1°c.
what place value should the temperature be
recorded to?
nearest 0.1°c
nearest 10°c
nearest 0.01°c
nearest 1°c

Explanation:

The thermometer is calibrated to a single unit of 1 °C. When taking measurements with a thermometer, the precision of the measurement (the place value to record) is determined by its calibration. Since this thermometer is calibrated to 1 °C, the temperature should be recorded to the nearest 1 °C. The other options (nearest 0.1 °C, nearest 10 °C, nearest 0.01 °C) don't match the given calibration of 1 °C.

Answer:

nearest 1 °C
