Exact numbers are defined values or counts that have no uncertainty. Measured numbers are obtained using measuring devices and have some degree of uncertainty.

1. "1 L is equal to 1.06 quarts": Conversion factors are measured values with uncertainty, so it's measured.
2. "The patient's blood - sugar level is 350 mg/dL": Measured using a blood - sugar testing device, so it's measured.
3. "There are 100 capsules in the bottle": A count, so it's exact.
4. "The rabbit weighs 2.5 pounds": Measured using a scale, so it's measured.
5. "The patient's temperature is 100.1 °F": Measured using a thermometer, so it's measured.
6. "There are 452 pages in a book": A count, so it's exact.
7. "In the U.S. system, there are 12 inches in one foot": Defined value, so it's exact.
