When you perform any arithmetic operation and round off the last digit, this is the most precise part of the measurement?

When you perform any arithmetic operation and round off the last digit, this is a bit precise but there are conditions in using the rounding off method. You round off only at the digit nearest the decimal point. For example,

2.21 + 1.175 = 3.385

round off 3.385, it becomes 3.39

The 9 there is the digit which has the same decimal place of 2.21. This is where you should round off your answer.
