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.
