The PRECISION of MEASUREMENT is the nearest one half inch. If it were expressed as 3 2/4 inch, it would be the nearest quarter of an inch and so on. There is no formula or anything. The accuracy is to the smallest increment given.

You need to be a bit more specific.
3 1/2 could mean 3.50, in which case the precision would be in the tenths place. 3.500 which would mean the precision is in the hundredths place. Or it could just be 3 1/2 or 6/2, in which case the precision would be infinite.
