The answer is 5.40 (can also be written as 5.4).

5. 4 3

Rounding with decimals follows the same rules as rounding whole numbers. When rounding to the nearest tenth, you need to look at the hundredths column. If the numbers are 1-4 round down to the nearest tenth. If they are 5-9 round up to the nearest tenth.

In this case the number would become 5.40 if the number you was rounding was any of the following- 5.41, 5.42, 5.43, 5.44.

It would round to 5.50 if the number was 5.45, 5.46, 5.47, 5.48, 5.49
