How to Round 5.74 to the Nearest Tenth

To round the number 5.74 to the nearest tenth, follow these steps:

1. Identify the tenths place: In 5.74, the tenths digit is 7 (the first digit after the decimal point).
2. Look at the digit in the hundredths place: This is the second digit after the decimal point, which is 4.
3. Decide whether to round up or down: If the hundredths digit is 5 or greater, round the tenths digit up by 1. If it is less than 5, keep the tenths digit the same.
4. Since the hundredths digit is 4, which is less than 5, we keep the tenths digit 7 the same.
5. Final rounded number: The number rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.7.
