To round the number 9.08 to the nearest tenth, follow these steps:
- Identify the tenths place: In 9.08, the tenths place is the first digit after the decimal point, which is 0.
- Look at the hundredths place: This is the second digit after the decimal point, which is 8.
- Decide whether to round up or down: If the hundredths digit is 5 or more, you round the tenths place up by 1. If it's less than 5, you leave the tenths digit as it is.
- Since the hundredths digit is 8 (which is more than 5), we round the tenths digit up from 0 to 1.
- Final rounded number: 9.1
Therefore, 9.08 rounded to the nearest tenth is 9.1.
