What is 45.592 rounded to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

45.6

Answer 2

To round a number up (or down), the mid-point is 5. So the 2 is less than 5, so 45.592 becomes 45.59.

The 9 is higher than the mid-point of 5, so you add 0.10 to the end of the number. Here you would add it to the existing 0.5 making it 0.6 so the number becomes 45.60 (or 45.6).
