You're welcome.
To round a number to the nearest tenth of a foot, you need to look at the digit in the hundredth place. In this case, the digit in the hundredth place is 3, which is less than 5.
When the digit in the hundredth place is less than 5, you simply truncate (cut off) all the digits after the tenth place and keep the value as it is. Therefore, rounding 6.535 to the nearest tenth of a foot would be 6.5.
However, if the digit in the hundredth place is 5 or greater, you would round up the digit in the tenth place. So, if the number were 6.545, it would round to 6.6, as the digit in the hundredth place (5) is equal to or greater than 5.
In conclusion, rounding 6.535 to the nearest tenth of a foot would be 6.5, not 6.54.
