Problem: Whose measurement is more precise?
Shana measured the weight of a cereal box and estimated it
as 1 pound. Michael estimated as 18 ounces. Whose
measurement is more precise?

If Shana "measured the weight," why does she need
to estimate it? Weighing it would give her the exact
weight. If it was indeed 1 pound, then her "measurement"
is more precise than Michael's estimate.
