What is the conversion to square feet of 100 round feet?
"Round feet" is not a common unit of measurement; please explain what you mean by "round feet".
What one what words means the degree to which a measurement is precise and reliable is it variable or accuracy or parameter or constant?
-- None of those words relates to "precise". -- "Accuracy" relates to "reliable". -- "Precision" and "accuracy" are two different things. -- "Precise" does not mean "reliable".
Is 42.3 ounce more precise than 35.6 tons?
Unfortunately, there is not a simple answer: it depends on what you mean by "more precise". Both have three significant figures and to that extend they are equally precise. However, the maximum possible percentage errors in the two measurements are approximately 100*0.05/42.3 = 0.12% and 100*0.05/35.6 = 0.14%, respectively. On that basis, 42.3 ounces is more precise in relative terms. Also, the measurement units are smaller for 42.3 ounces so in absolute terms the measurement is more precise.
What is the definition of the word precise?
If you mean precise. It means to be exact. marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail
Is it possible to get a precise measurement that is not accurate?
Certainly. Precision and accuracy do not mean quite the same thing. All measuring tools need to be recalibrated from time to time against a standard. For instance you can get a very precise reading from a micrometer or vernier gage but if it has not been correctly calibrated the reading will not be accurate.
Can a measurement be precise without being accurate?
You can make a very precise measurement with a poorly calibrated device.
What is the smaller unit of measure used the more precise the measurement what does this mean?
precision is taking place

What does the word estimation mean?
It means to guess at something. An imprecise amount or measurement.

What does it mean to measure something to the nearest whole decimetre?
Meter sticks usually have marks for centimeters, not decimeters, so in this case, you could take the measurement to centimeters, then round. For instance, if the measurement is 53.8 centimeters, you round this to the nearest 10 centimeters (50), then convert to decimeters (5).Meter sticks usually have marks for centimeters, not decimeters, so in this case, you could take the measurement to centimeters, then round.

Using proper signification figures what is the answer to the problem 55.0 m s 3.027 s?
It isn't clear what the question is. If you are supposed to multiply or divide, and if by "signification figures" you mean significant digits, do the multiplication (or division), then round to three significant digits - since the least-precise of the numbers only has three significant digits.
Explain why is a highly precise measurement doesn't not always mean a highly accurate one?
Accurate means how close the measured value is to the real, actual value. Precise means how reproducible the measurement is. So, if the real value is 1.00, and you measure it to be 0.785, and every time you measure it, it comes out the same (0.785), then the measurement is VERY precise, but not very accurate.
What does precise data mean?
it means when you are fantasising
