To answer this question, you first want to know; what does, "precise" mean? Precise - Exact, accurate. So what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its c

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Hmm. Maybe. What about B? Do you think that's the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (uri):

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Bad explaining. >_> But that's the answer.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

To find the answer, you want to look for the decimal that has the most digits after the decimal point.

So, 1.05214 meters is more precise than 1.052 meters. Make sense?
