I got parts A and B correct, but my answer for part C is wrong. Need help with part C pls.

Constants I Periodic Table
A motion sensor can accurately measure the distance d
to an object repeatedly via the sonar technique. (Older
autofocusing cameras determine the distance by emitting
a pulse of very high frequency (ultrasonic) sound that
travels to the object being photographed, and include a
sensor that detects the returning reflected sound, as
shown in the figure.) (Figure 1) A short ultrasonic pulse is
emitted and reflects from any objects it encounters,
creating echo pulses upon their arrival back at the
sensor. The sensor measures the time interval t between
the emission of the original pulse and the arrival of the

Assume that during a lab period the room's temperature increases from 20°C to 24 °C. What percent error will this
introduce into the motion sensor's distance measurements?

Part A
The smallest time interval t that can be measured with high precision is 1.2 ms . What is the smallest distance (at 20
°C) that can be measured with the motion sensor?

If the motion sensor makes 13 distance measurements every second (that is, it emits 13 sound pulses per second at
evenly spaced time intervals), the measurement of t must be completed within the time interval between the
emissions of successive pulses. What is the largest distance (at 20° C) that can be measured with the motion
sensor?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
