An editor is preparing a local history booklet. Two survey notebooks contain measurements of the same doorway, but the doorway no longer exists.
| Survey notebook | Recorded doorway width |
|---|---|
| A | 1.8 metres |
| B | 1.9 metres |
Using the information in the table, write one sentence for the booklet that reports the width of the doorway accurately.
Explain why your sentence is more suitable for the booklet than: “The doorway was exactly 1.8 metres wide.”
