True or false

The sum or difference must be rounded to the same place value as the last significant digit of the least precise measurement.

True. When performing addition or subtraction with measurements or quantities that have different levels of precision, the sum or difference should be rounded to the same place value as the last significant digit of the least precise measurement. This helps maintain consistency and avoid introducing additional uncertainty in the result.
