See below.

Explanation:

Since 2.738 is only one decimal place more then 2 decimal places, the main numbers that we are going to be looking at are 2.7 color(blue)(38).

Now, we are going to have to round that 3 in the 38. To do that, you must look at the 8, and see if it is larger then 5, or less than 5. Since it is larger than, you can round the 38 up to 40. So now the number you have is 2.740, but since the 0 does not need to be included, you have 2.74, which is 2 decimal places.
