Precise, given to this example, it would appear as it means exact amount, not rounded, in this terms I suppose. So, what is 'precise' above? What do you think ISN'T rounded?

hey @mathmale where is the equation edditor

misssmartiez · Answer

Showing the accurate measure? Not 50 and 30? Why?

50 can be 50.5 or 50.6, just rounded. We'd never really know.

30, could 29.7 just as likely.
