Of course, I can help you with that! Rounding decimals to the nearest tenth involves looking at the digit in the hundredth place. Here's a step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Identify the digit in the tenths place.
Step 2: Look at the digit in the hundredth place. If it is 5 or greater, round up to the next higher tenth. If it is less than 5, round down to the current tenth.
Step 3: Change all digits to the right of the tenths place to zeros.
Let me clarify with an example:
Example 1: Round 3.84 to the nearest tenth.
Step 1: The digit in the tenths place is 8.
Step 2: The digit in the hundredth place is 4, which is less than 5. So we round down.
Step 3: Changing all digits to the right of the tenths place to zeros, we get 3.8.
Example 2: Round 5.76 to the nearest tenth.
Step 1: The digit in the tenths place is 7.
Step 2: The digit in the hundredth place is 6, which is 5 or greater. So we round up.
Step 3: Changing all digits to the right of the tenths place to zeros, we get 5.8.
By following these steps, you'll be able to round decimals to the nearest tenth.
