Rounding Decimals to the Nearest Tenth — Printable Math Worksheet - Free Printable

To solve the problem of rounding each decimal to the nearest tenth, we need to follow these steps:

Steps for Rounding to the Nearest Tenth:

1. Identify the digit in the tenths place (the first digit after the decimal point).
2. Look at the digit in the hundredths place (the second digit after the decimal point).
- If the hundredths digit is 5 or greater, round up the tenths digit by 1.
- If the hundredths digit is less than 5, keep the tenths digit as it is.
3. Drop all digits after the tenths place.
