Thermodynamics filling steam tables for water

In summary, thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the relationships between heat, work, temperature, and energy. Steam tables for water are reference tables that provide the thermodynamic properties of water and steam, such as pressure, temperature, enthalpy, and entropy, at different states. They are used to calculate the properties of water and steam in thermodynamic processes, such as power generation, refrigeration, and heating systems. Filling steam tables for water is important because they provide valuable data for designing and analyzing thermodynamic systems, and can be used to predict the behavior of water and steam in different conditions. Some common properties found in steam tables for water include pressure, temperature, specific volume, enthalpy, entropy, and

Hey guys I attached the problem and the solution. I only have a question on row 4. The bolded #s are the one's we were supposed to find, but this is from the solution manual.

To find h, since the given pressure is much lower than the lowest pressure value in the compressed liquid table we are justified to treat the compressed liquid as saturated liquid at the given temperature. I used the table and got h=335.02, but the manual has it as 335.3.

I don't see how they got their number? Am I correct?
