(ones) . (tenths) (hundredths) (thousandths)So to the nearest tenth, it would be 2.3
When rounding to the nearest tenth, look to the hundredths place. Since 9 is in the hundredths place in this number, which is greater than 4, we round up, so the 8 becomes a nine. The answer is therefore 2.9.
The 6 in the hundredths place tells me to round up to 300.0.
The number in the hundredths place is 5, so we round up to 6.3.
When rounding 14.4 to the nearest tenth, you look at the digit in the hundredths place, which is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, you round down. Therefore, 14.4 rounded to the nearest tenth is 14.4.

It is already rounded to the nearest hundredth as 12.51 but to the nearest tenth it is 12.5
To round to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredths digit: if it is 5 or more round up otherwise round down. For 95.25 the hundredths digit is 5, so round up: 95.25 → 95.3 to the nearest tenth.
When rounding to the nearest tenth, look to the hundredths place. Since 9 is in the hundredths place in this number, which is greater than 4, we round up, so the 8 becomes a nine. The answer is therefore 2.9.

The number in the hundredths place is 5, so we round up to 6.3.
To round 5.23 to the nearest tenth, we look at the digit in the hundredths place, which is 2. Since 2 is less than 5, we do not need to round up. Therefore, 5.23 rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.2.
0.962 to the nearest tenth is 1.0. When rounding a number to the nearest tenth, you look at the digit in the hundredths place. If it is 5 or greater, you round up; if it is less than 5, you round down. In this case, 0.962 has a 6 in the hundredths place, so it rounds up to 1.0.
