If you work in a movie theatre, you need to know exactly when the film is going to end so that you can have staff ready to clean the auditorium between performances or to be at the doors when the crowd lets out if you are conducting a sample marketing promotion. Also, so you know how much of a turn-around time you have between the earlier performance ending and the next show beginning. Also, so you can inform guests if they are concerned they have paid for long enough parking. Also, if parents are picking their kids up after the show, they don't want their kids hanging around unnecessarily.

If you don't work in a theatre, you may still want to know the running time so you can time your catching public transportation. Or, if you are recording from your TV, do you have a DVD that has enough space to capture the whole thing. Or, if you have a certain amount of time to kill, you want a movie that fits in that space.

What are the uses of rational numbers in day to day life?

Any time that whole numbers are not precise enough. For example, if you want to express the length of a table in meters, the length of the table might be somewhere between 1 and 2 meters. To express the length more precisely, you need fractions (or decimals, which are a special case of fractions).

Would you measure yourself in meters or centimeters?

Centimeters. Because if you have ever seen a meter stick it is about the length of your fingertip to your other shoulder, So centimeter would be more precise while you might be 1.537 (False number) and you might be 157 centimeters (real number). Hope this helped!


What is meant by measurement is accurate but not precise?

An accurate but not precise measurement would be an approximate measurement. For example, in cooking or baking, the ingredients list might indicate one cup of a certain item. Scientifically, however, one cup, (or 8 ounces) would not be a precise measurement for testing purposes. Instead, a precisemeasurement would be required, especially when the results of a specific test need to be reproducible and the quantities are minute, as in micrograms, for example. Accuracy in measurement is of closeness to the actual or exact, but precision in measurement is closeness to the same spot each time it is taken.


How Do you measure a meter stick to check its 100cm?

Compare it to a standard metre. If you want a more precise method and have access to a well equipped lab, a metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. That might be over-the-top, though!
