How to Round 51.92 to the Nearest Tenth

To round 51.92 to the nearest tenth, follow these steps:

1. Identify the digit in the tenths place: In 51.92, the tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal point, which is 9.
2. Look at the digit to the right of the tenths place: This is the hundredths place, which is 2.
3. Apply rounding rules: If the digit in the hundredths place is 5 or greater, you round the tenths digit up by 1. If it is less than 5, you keep the tenths digit the same.
4. Since the hundredths digit is 2 (which is less than 5), we keep the tenths digit 9 as is.
5. Thus, rounded to the nearest tenth, 51.92 becomes 51.9.
