19.73 to the nearest tenth is 19.7. This is because the digit in the tenths place (the second decimal place) is a 3, which is less than 5. Therefore, we do not round up the digit in the ones place.
A number with one digit after (to the right of) the decimal point is said to have one decimal place. The number can also be said to be rounded to the nearest tenth.
