______________________________
When you are adding or subtracting uncertainty, you just add the values. First add the actual numbers:
2.0394 + 3.256 - 1.17 = 4.1254 4.13 (the third number only has hundredths place)
Now add the uncertainties:
0.0008 + 0.004 + 0.01 = 0.0148. This needs to be 0.01 because it is the smallest place of the number ...
