How do you calculate or find absolute uncertainty?


Absolute uncertainty is the uncertainty in unit form
So if you measured a length with a meter stick the absolute uncertainty is (+-) 1mm
So if I had the measured value and the percentage uncertainty I would need to multiply them together to find out the absolute uncertainty?
