Like if the very EXACT speed was 25.34586735689 knots and it shows 25.1729643956738

Most of us Industry PEs understand the problem precisely.

The above would be approximated near-exactly as being somewhere between 20kt and 30kt ... near enough for Guv'mint business.

The really pedantic folks probably might opt for "around 25kt".
