For addition and subtraction, look at the decimal portion (i.e., to the right of the decimal point) of the<br />
numbers ONLY. Here is what to do:<br />
1) Count the number of significant figures in the decimal portion of each number in the problem. (The<br />
digits to the left of the decimal place are not used to determine the number of decimal places in the<br />
final answer.)<br />
2) Add or subtract in the normal fashion.<br />
3) Round the answer to the LEAST number of places in the decimal portion of any number in the<br />
problem.<br />
