Precision is how many significant figures have been measured. This is the number of digits in between the first and last non-zero digit.
In this case we have:
1265.12 = 6 sig figs
0.71 = 2 sig figs
24.5 = 3 sig figs
54 = 2 sig figs
So 0.71 and 54 represent the same level of precision.
100.6 and 1.1
12.5 and 1,365.7 *APEX* 1.1&&100.6 0.59&&98.42 Correct answer: 35.68 and 0.764
precision
A & b
Mostly, although adding that last 0 indicates a higher level of precision.

Precision refers to the degree of agreement among repeated measurements of the same quantity. A measurement is considered precise if repeated measurements under the same conditions yield similar results. High precision means that the measurements are close to each other, while low precision implies variability in the measurements.
The consistency or reproducibility of the measurements is most directly related to precision. A high precision means that repeated measurements on the same sample give very similar results, indicating a low level of random error in the measurements.
