Questions & Answers about Точность твоего измерения гораздо выше.
Why do we use гораздо here instead of много for "much"?
To say "much [more]" or "a lot [more]" with a comparative adjective like выше, Russian uses гораздо or намного. You cannot use много directly before a comparative form in this way.
Could I use более высокая instead of выше in this sentence?
Grammatically, yes. Более высокая is the compound comparative and it correctly matches the feminine, nominative subject точность. However, the short comparative выше (which never changes for gender or number) is much more natural and common when used as the predicate (the part of the sentence describing the subject after the implied "is").
I know измерения is in the genitive case, but why does it end in -я instead of -а?
The nominative form is измерение (measurement), which is a neuter noun ending in -ие. While regular neuter nouns ending in -о take -а in the genitive singular, those ending in -е or -ие take -я. Also notice its modifier твоего—remember that the г in this masculine/neuter genitive ending is pronounced like a "v".
This lesson focuses on decimal fractions. How does vocabulary like точность and измерение tie into that?
When you read decimals like десятые (tenths) or сотые (hundredths), you are usually establishing the точность (precision) of a given измерение (measurement). Измерение comes from the verb измерять / измерить (to measure), which is a highly useful root when dealing with numbers and scientific data.
