Rounding Decimals to Tenths

Rounding Decimals to the Nearest Tenth

Rounding decimals is very similar to rounding other numbers. If the hundredths and thousandths places of a decimal is forty-nine or less, they are dropped and the tenths place does not change.

For example, rounding 0.843 to the nearest tenth would give 0.8.

If the hundredths and thousandths places are fifty or more, the tenths place is increased by one. The decimal 0.866 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.9
