<PRE><B>Question 520274</B>
Explain which is more accurate: measuring to the 
nearest millimeter or to the nearest eight of an inch.
------------
A millimeter is smaller.
1 inch = 25.4 mm
1 inch = eight 8ths of an inch
----------------------
That has no effect on accuracy, tho, only resolution.
A person taking measurments in mms can be careless or drunk, and be off by a lot.
