Rounding a number to the nearest tenth means looking at the digit in the hundredths place and deciding whether to keep the tenths digit the same or increase it by one.
Step 1: Identify the tenths and hundredths place in 9.30:
- The digit in the tenths place is the first digit after the decimal point: 3
- The digit in the hundredths place is the second digit after the decimal point: 0
Step 2: Look at the hundredths digit (0):
If this digit is 5 or greater, you round the tenths digit up by one.
If this digit is less than 5, the tenths digit stays the same.
Step 3: Since the hundredths digit is 0 (which is less than 5), the tenths digit (3) stays the same.
Therefore, 9.30 rounded to the nearest tenth is 9.3.
