if the smallest marked division on a measuring tape is 1mm and you are using it to measure a table's length, what is the smallest possible uncertainty in the measurement?

2nd quesion, similar to last one, if a stopwatch displays time to the nearest 1/100th of a second, what is a reasonable uncertanity for a measurement made with this stopwatch? Can anyone explain this to me?
