What is an accurate measurement?
Think about all the things you measure each day--your weight, the volume of a soda in a glass, how far it is to school... How perfect must those measurements be to make you happy? For example, if your bottle of energy drink is only half-full when you buy it, is that good enough?
Now, think about driving. How close does the measurement from town to town have to be? What about the measurement of your speed, or of your stopping distance? Do those need to be perfect, or just within a range? Explain your ideas to me in 3-4 sentences in today's blog post.

The speed limit has to be perfect otherwise you could get pulled over. Your stopping distance has to be fairly close but it doesn't have to be perfect.
Yes these measurements need to be correct. For example, you have 5 gallons left in your tank and theres a town 2 miles away and 10 miles away , you need to know if u can make it or if u need to fill up sooner. If the miles to the towns are different you might run out of gas in the middle of no-where.
your speed has to be really close. otherwise you get pulled over. you have to stop before the stop sign otherwise its illegal.
If I am going to get something to drink it has to be full.
If i go some where I want it to be a short distance, but that i'snt always possible. I like to take short cuts, and have the full amount when i want it.
i think that if your bottle of of soda is half full when you buy it that is not good enough. \
Your measurement for driving has to be almost exact! you are risking other peoples lives for your measuring abilities! You can not just be within range because if you measure too short then you will hit somebody but if you measure to long somebody might hit you.
Those mostly need to be perfect because for speed,stopping distance,and measurement from town to town; you need to be able to not be a hazard to other people around you like stopping really fact it could cause a accident and speeding can cause a accident or a ticket, and for town you need to be able to get off the exit without having trouble to others.
Ur driving conditions have 2 be great 4 a perfect stoping reaction time. Ur speed has 2 be perfect so u don't get pulled over.
I believe that you should be accurate when you drive especially because you don't want to go over the speed limit or tailgate another person. Also when you drive on the interstate, following the signs.
your driving distance doesn't really matter but stopping and speed limit does..your speed limit should be perfect otherwise you could get picked up and your when you come to a stop sign u should be very close but almost perfect.
The measurements i think have to be pretty close between towns because if their off it could make a differance on where you need to stop for gas.The breaking distance could be different for the faster you are going.But it is still important for you to be able to judge your stopping and the faster you are going the more stopping distance you need
The speed limit has to be close and not too slow or over. Your stopping distance has to be fair depending on your speed. measurements from town to town has to be rounded to like the closest mile.
it depends on what you are measuring . if it is just from town to town it does not have to be exact. if it is measuring medson it has to be exact.
I think that for the recording, you §hould be close to exact, but not nesicarily exact. If you Äre measuring Ä long distance, than you can take your §peed and then take how long you were driving. You will need to §tay Ät Ä certain §peed, or determine the difference that your change has caused. you §hould come pretty close to what the Äctual distance is.
i think that people with big feet have big step and people with samill feet have lilttle step
your speed has to be really close. otherwise you get pulled over. you have tro stop before the stop sign otherwise its illegal
I think u need to be accurate when stopping because if your not you could run into someone or collide at an intersection.
When it comes to stuff like energy drinks and other bottled items it matters how full the bottle is. When someone buys 20 oz of something they want what they pay for.
You got to know your speed when driving if you want to measure the distance. When you come to a stop sign and you stop it doesn't have to be perfect but if a kid runs out in front of you, you got to stop quick and it does have to be perfect. So it all depends on the situation.
The speed limit has to be right or else if you are going few miles per hour faster, you might get pulled over by a cop and get a ticket. If u go the right speed limit, your measurement will be right.
This is Tea and if i bought something to drink from a store and it was half way gone id be like um no I'm not paying the hole price.i live on s-th Tamma st. so i live pretty far from school, I'm lazy i usually get a ride.
Your measurements need to be pretty close. You could get low on gas. You could also get into a accident and call for help and you need to tell them how far out of town you are.
