To round a number to the nearest tenth, you need to look at the digit in the hundredths place. In this case, the number is 226.08, and the digit in the hundredths place is 0.
If the digit in the hundredths place is 5 or greater, you round up the tenths place. If the digit in the hundredths place is less than 5, you leave the tenths place as it is.
Since the digit in the hundredths place is 0, which is less than 5, the number 226.08 rounded to the nearest tenth is 226.0.
Please note that the 0 in the tenths place is optional and can be omitted. So another correct way to round 226.08 to the nearest tenth is 226.
