How do you find greatest possible error?
for example you use a beam balance to find the mass of a rock sample for a science lab. you read the scale as 3.8g. what is your greatest possible error? well the rocks mass was measured to the nearest 0.1g, so the greatest possible error is one half of 0.1g he's right but here's the definition: one half of the unit of measurement to which the measure is being rounded. EX. the greatest possible answer of 3g is 1.5g If you have 3 cm, you are measuring to the nearest cm, so the greatest possibel error would be .5 cm.
What is the greatest possible number that rounds off to 700?
Integers to the nearest hundred, 749.
What is the greatest number rounded to 2400000?
The answer depends on the degree of rounding: to the nearest 2400000, it is a fraction less than 3600000.
What is the greatest possible whole number that can be rounded off to 9000?
The answer depends on the extent of rounding. It can be 13499, to the nearest 9000 or 9002 to the nearest 5..
Is it true that if two numbers both round to 1000 as their nearest thousand the greatest possible difference between them is 499?
No
What fractions is nearest to 2?
There can be no such thing as a nearest fraction since, given any fraction, it is always possible to find a fraction that is nearer.
What is the greatest possible error for 8.64?
Assuming that the measurement is to the nearest 0.01, the greatest possible error is 0.005.

What is the greatest possible value of 23000 when it is rounded off to the nearest thousand?
23,000 is already rounded to the nearest thousand, and is therefore the greatest possible value under the circumstances.
What is 1.5 percent as the nearest possible fraction?
1.5% = 3⁄200
What is the greatest possible error of 20 cm?
Integers that end in zero have an ambiguous number of significant digits: it is not possible to tell whether the number has been obtained by rounding to the nearest unit or nearest ten.Therefore, if you assume that the measure has been rounded to the nearest ten, the greatest possible error is 5 cm.
What is the greatest possible number that can can be rounded off to 52000?
52499 to the nearest thousand.
What is the greatest possible error of 98?
The greatest possible error is 49. 147, rounded to the nearest 98 is 98 with an error of 49. Similarly, 49.0...1, rounded to the nearest 98 is 98 with an error of 48.999... recurring.
What is the greatest possible error of 350mi?
The answer depends on whether the measurements were to the nearest whole number or the nearest ten (or something else.
What is the greatest possible number that can be rounded off to 75 500?
75749.99... to the nearest 500.
What is the greatest possible number that rounds off to 700?
Integers to the nearest hundred, 749.
What is the greatest possible value that will yield 23000 when rounded off to the nearest thousands?
23,499
