To choose: the correct term to determine the degree of precision needed for the given measurement situation.

Answer to Problem 1E
.01 gram
Explanation of Solution
Given:The mass of one drop of a medicine is measured to the nearest .01 gram or .01 kilogram.
The degree of precision needed mainly depends on the application of the product. In this case, the mass of one drop of the medicine should be measured to the nearest .01 gram, because medicines are used to save human lives and any kind of variation in the mass of the component or the medicine can cause life threat to the patient. Hence, we need a precise measurement of the mass and measurement to the nearest .01 gram will give us the required precision.
