Assuming that the measurement is to the nearest 0.01, the greatest possible error is 0.005.

0.05 metres.
If the numbers are rounded to the nearest 750, then 375 is the greatest possible error. Although you are not likely to have counted in 750s, it is quite possible that you counted in 50s (greatest error = 25). Or in tens (GE = 5) or in units (ones), when the greatest error is 0.5. The greatest possible error is half of the smallest unit of measurement.

The greatest possible error for the measurement 0.991 g would be half of the smallest measurable unit, which is typically 0.001 g for this measurement. Therefore, the greatest possible error would be ±0.0005 g.
It is 0.5 mi.
If the number of significant digits is correct, this measurement should be between 4.6 and 4.8 and thus have a possible maximum error of 0.1.
1/2 ft = 6 inches.
0.05 metres or 5 cm.
The greatest possible error for a measurement is typically half of the smallest unit of measurement. In this case, the smallest unit of measurement is 1 foot, so the greatest possible error for a 14-foot measurement would be 0.5 feet. This means that the actual measurement could be as low as 13.5 feet or as high as 14.5 feet.
