Example Question #283 : Arithmetic
What is 16.7548 rounded to the nearest tenth?
The tenth's place is the position one unit to the right of the decimal point. In this case, that is the 7.
After identifying the position, we need to determine if this number remains 7 or if we need to round it up to 8. If the number to the right of the tenth's place is 4 or lower, then our number will remain 7. If it is 5 or greater, then we will round the 7 up to 8.
In this case, the number is indeed 5, so our tenth's place becomes 8. All numbers to the left of the tenth's place will remain the same.
