Write measurements as value, unit, and uncertainty

x

Close-up of a plain measurement note showing only “2.4” in large text, surrounded by three small question marks labeled “what?”, “unit?”, and “how exact?”, with no other numbers or objects.

A number alone is incomplete

A measurement is not just “2.4.” By itself, that number does not say what was measured, how big it is, or how much trust to put in it.
