Work Step by Step

a. $$\begin{aligned} &212.2 + 26.7+ 402.09\\ &=238.9+ 402.09\\ &=640.99 \end{aligned}$$ The limiting figures ($212.2$ and $26.7$) have one decimal place. Answer $=641.0$ b. $$\begin{aligned} &1.0028 +0.221+0.10337\\ &=1.2238+0.10337\\ &=1.32717 \end{aligned}$$ The limiting figure ($0.221$) has three decimal places. Answer $=1.327$ c. $$\begin{aligned} &52.331 +26.01-0.9981\\ &=78.341-0.9981\\ &=77.3429 \end{aligned}$$ The limiting figure($26.01$) has two decimal places. Answer $=77.34$   d. $$\begin{aligned} &2.01 \times10^2 +3.014 \times 10^3\\ &=201 + 3014\\ &=3215 \end{aligned}$$ Answer $=3215$ e. $$\begin{aligned} &7.255-6.8350\\ &=0.420 \end{aligned}$$ The limiting figure ($7.255$) has three decimal places. Answer $=0.420$
