I'd strongly suggest that you discuss what "greatest possible error" means and come to an agreement on it. Then, work together to find an appropriate answer to this question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \times 1 mi = .5mi\]

The greatest possible error of a measurement is one half of the unit of measure to which the measure is being rounded
