Well, 0.7 is 7/10 so one tenth up is 0.8

∙ 12y agoThe tenth is the first number after the decimal point. When rounding, you round up if the next number is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. The next number, the hundredth, is 3, so you do not round up. Therefore, 0.23 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.2.
Step 1. I look in the hundredths place. If I see a 5 or more I round up, otherwise down, to the next multiple of one tenth. Step 2. The number in the hundredths place is 5 so I know to round up. Step 3. The next higher multiple of one tenth is 21.4. That is the answer.
If you want to find one tenth of a number, divide it by 10. For example, one tenth of 50 is 5. I teach my students about fraction this way. When you consider one tenth of something, 1/10, think of the denominator of the fraction as the number of equal groups you have to divide a particular number into. Then think of the numerator of the fraction as the number of those equal groups you are counting up. Another example: to find 3/10 of 50, divide 50 into ten equal groups of 5 each. Then count three of them: 5 + 5 + 5 = 15. 3/10 of 50 is 15.
19.89 would round to 19.9 to the nearest tenth because we look at the hundredth column and if it is greater than five we round the tenth number up 1.

0.8 0.7 + 0.1 = 0.8
to round up to the nearest tenth, you have to see if the number two places after the decimal is 5 or greater. so if it was 1.27 it would be 1.3 but if it was 1.23 it will be 1.2 rounded to the nearest tenth

This is something that can be done without posting a question on Answers.com. A 'tenth' is the number in the first place after the decimal point. In this case, the first 4 after the decimal point is in the tenth place. Now, on to rounding rules. If the number DIRECTLY AFTER the number to be rounded is 5 or greater, then round the number up one. If the number directly after the number to be rounded is less than 5, then leave the number what it is. So, in the tenth place, we have a 4. Directly after the 4 is a 6. Since 6 is higher than 5, we round the 4 up to a 5. So, the final answer is: 34.5 Source: Personal mathematics knowledge
100 exactly (100.00). You the tenth place is the number right next to the decimal place to the right of it. The hundredths place (next number to the right) determines whether the tenth place rounds up or down. Since it is over 5 it rounds up to 100.
Usually, 5 goes up.
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.
