Answer 1

what answers can you mark off and what number is precise?

Answer 2

Well, you need to know what "precision" means.
1 is not very precise.
1.0000000000000005 is extremely precise.
What is the difference between the two? Hint: look up "significant digits".
What do you get from that?

Answer 12

Can you explain why? So that I can understand it better.

Answer 13

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.
