Let's analyze and solve the problem shown in the image:

We are given the expression:

\[
1.553 \, \text{oz} - 0.28 \, \text{oz}
\]

### Step 1: Subtract the values.
\[
1.553 - 0.28 = 1.273 \, \text{oz}
\]

### Step 2: Round to the correct precision.
In the problem, we are instructed to round the answer to the correct precision. Since **0.28** has two decimal places (it is the least precise), we round **1.273** to two decimal places:

\[
1.273 \approx 1.27 \, \text{oz}
\]

### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{1.27 \, \text{oz}}
\]

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
1. What is \( 3.456 \, \text{oz} - 1.234 \, \text{oz} \), rounded to the correct precision?
2. Add \( 2.89 \, \text{oz} + 1.123 \, \text{oz} \), and round the result to the correct precision.
3. Subtract \( 4.56 \, \text{oz} - 0.998 \, \text{oz} \), rounding the result properly.
4. How would you handle \( 5.0001 \, \text{oz} - 2.56 \, \text{oz} \) in terms of precision?
5. Add \( 1.004 \, \text{oz} + 0.23 \, \text{oz} \), rounding the sum correctly.

**Tip:** Always round your final answer to match the precision of the least precise measurement in your calculation!
