Tell which measurement is more precise 178 in or 12 ft?
They are both as precise as the measuring tools. Precision is affected by the error introduced by the measurement or in a dimension, often known as the tolerance.A measurement in inches has a greater resolution than one in feet. 12 times the resolution in fact. However, a measurement of 178 inches that can be up to 15% out is not as precise as a measurement of 12 feet with a 1% possible error.

Is less precise instrument always more accurate?
No. Accurate relates to how close the actual measurement the instrument measures. Precise relates to how much detail the instrument gives when measuring. They are independent to each other: An measurement can be precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.141592654) An measurement can be precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.733677432) An measurement can be less precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.14) An measurement can be less precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.73).
What measurement device produces the most precise measurement?
measuring tape
Is a accurate measurement automatically precise?
An automatically measurement has a higher precision than a manually measurement.
Is 51 ft more precise than 58yd?
Precision is affected by how great an error can be when a measurement is taken. A measurement in feet has a greater resolution than one in yards. 3 times the resolution in fact. However, a measurement of 51 feet that can be up to 15% out is not as precise as a measurement of 58 yards with a 1% possible error.
