Rounding 29.15 to the Nearest Tenth Explained

To round 29.15 to the nearest tenth, follow these steps:

1. Identify the digit in the tenths place. For 29.15, the tenths place is the first digit after the decimal point, which is 1.
2. Look at the digit right after the tenths place, which is the hundredths place. Here, it's 5.
3. The rule for rounding is: if the digit after the place you're rounding to is 5 or greater, add 1 to the digit in the rounding place. Since the hundredths place is 5, we add 1 to the tenths place digit (1 + 1 = 2).
4. Replace all digits after the tenths place with zero (or simply drop them). So the number becomes 29.2.

Therefore, 29.15 rounded to the nearest tenth is 29.2.
