NGA 85 Meter Assembly And Abnormal Operating Conditions (AOCs) Practice Test

When recording a meter reading for billing, what should be recorded?

Only the decimal portion. Only the integer portion. The total volume from left to right including decimals, in units shown on the register. The time of day.

Correct Answer:

The total volume from left to right including decimals, in units shown on the register.

Explanation:

When recording a meter reading for billing, you must capture the full value shown on the register—from left to right—and include the decimal portion, using the same units displayed on the register. The decimals represent fractions of a unit, and omitting them would misstate the total consumption, leading to inaccurate billing. Recording just the integer part ignores those fractions, and recording only the decimals would omit all of the SAMPLEwhole-unit amount. The time of day isn’t used to determine the amount consumed, so it isn’t relevant to the billing reading.
