How to Round 6.24 to the Nearest Tenth

Rounding a number to the nearest tenth means looking at the digit in the hundredths place (the second digit to the right of the decimal point) and deciding whether to round the digit in the tenths place (the first digit to the right of the decimal point) up or leave it as it is.

1. Look at the number: 6.24.
2. Identify the digit in the tenths place: The tenths place is 2.
3. Identify the digit in the hundredths place: The hundredths place is 4.
4. If the hundredths digit is 5 or greater, increase the tenths digit by 1. If it's less than 5, keep the tenths digit the same.
5. Since 4 is less than 5, keep the tenths digit 2 as is.
6. Drop all digits after the tenths place.

The rounded number to the nearest tenth is 6.2.
