How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.

|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 1 | +0.01000 |
| 1 decimal | 1.0 | +0.01000 |
| 2 decimals | 0.99 | exact |
