Let us analyse the numebr 1.4 first.

To round a number to their nearest tenth, we need to look at its hundredth place. As hundredth is neither ones nor tenths, we know that it is 0.
A 0 ≤ 5, we can just ignore the hundredth place. So, 1.4 rounded tp the nearest tenth is actually still 1.4.
NOTE
You actually can’t round 1.4 to 1.4, but I’m doing it for ‘specific purposes’.
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.
3.7 (which is 13.69)
The nearest tenth is 0.5
It is 0.4 to the nearest tenth
what is 0.74 to the nearest tenth
14 inches rounded to the nearest tenth would be 14.0 inches.
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.
