"Round feet" is not a common unit of measurement; please explain what you mean by "round feet".
-- None of those words relates to "precise". -- "Accuracy" relates to "reliable". -- "Precision" and "accuracy" are two different things. -- "Precise" does not mean "reliable".
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.
If you mean precise. It means to be exact. marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail
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.
Yes, a measurement can be precise without being accurate. Precision refers to how close repeated measurements are to each other, while accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value. It is possible for measurements to be consistently close to each other (precise) but consistently off from the true value (inaccurate).

The smaller unit of measure used is called a precision unit. Using a smaller unit allows for more detailed measurements, leading to greater accuracy in the final measurement. Essentially, the more precise the measurement, the smaller the unit used to measure it.
It means to guess at something. An imprecise amount or measurement.
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.

No, precision and accuracy have different meanings in science. Precision refers to how close measurements are to each other, while accuracy refers to how close measurements are to the true or accepted value. A measurement can be precise but not accurate, or accurate but not precise.

Pipetting is the process of transferring a specific volume of liquid from one container to another using a pipette. This technique is commonly used in laboratories for accurate and precise measurement of liquids.

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.
