Significant figures represent the precision of a measurement, including all certain digits and one uncertain digit. Decimal places indicate the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Significant figures are based on the accuracy of the measurement, while decimal places are based on the scale of the number.
When adding numbers, the result should be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places. This ensures that the final answer has the appropriate number of significant figures.
Traditionally, 2 decimal places should be used to record the volume of a 10 ml volumetric flask. Recording the volume 2 decimal places means that you are measuring, or rounding your measurement, to the hundredth decimal place, whereas if you were measuring just 1 decimal place, you'd be measuring the tenth decimal place. When we say 2 decimal places, we mean that there should be two numbers that come after the decimal point, regardless of whether or not there is a number that is standing in front (or visually, to the left) of the decimal point.
When adding numbers, the result should be rounded to the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places. This ensures that the final answer is accurate and reflects the precision of the original numbers.
When adding or multiplying numbers with significant figures, the result should be rounded to the least number of decimal places in the original numbers. For addition, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places. For multiplication, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures.

There is a function called ROUND which you can use to round to zero decimal places. If your number was in cell A2, the formula would be:=ROUND(A2,0)

When multiplying a number with decimal places to the hundredth (2 decimal places) by a number with decimal places to the tenths (1 decimal place), you add the number of decimal places together. This results in a total of 2 + 1 = 3 decimal places in the product. Therefore, the product will have 3 decimal places.

To find the total number of decimal places in a product of two numbers, you add the number of decimal places in each number. If the first number has decimal places to the thousandths (3 decimal places) and the second number has decimal places to the tenths (1 decimal place), the product will have a total of 3 + 1 = 4 decimal places.
To find the number of decimal places in a product of decimal numbers, add up the total number of decimal places in each of the factors. For example, if you have 2.5 multiplied by 4.75, there are two decimal places in 2.5 and two decimal places in 4.75, so the product will have a total of four decimal places.
