Approximation and Estimation

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1187247/1/.html


Approximation: In paragraph 6, it says "Nearly half, or 45 per cent" which means it is from about 50% to around maybe 45% or so.

Exact: In paragraph 3, it says "
405 employees" which is the exact number as nothing was said after this phrase about being estimate or whatsoever.

(iv) I think they round it up to the nearest whole number.
