Report quantities with accuracy appropriate to measurement limitations.
Identify underprecision from excessive rounding
Problem
Fuel planning requires trip distance within \(\pm~5~\text{miles}\). The original distance is \(149~\text{miles}\), but the report is \(100~\text{miles}\). Calculate the absolute error, test it against the tolerance, judge the precision, and give the exact original distance as the suitable report.
