How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.

|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 2 | +0.50000 |
| 1 decimal | 1.5 | exact |
| 2 decimals | 1.50 | exact |
