5.98 rounded to the nearest tenth

9 is in the tenths place and 8 is in the hundredths place
Since the digit in the hundredths place (8) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (9)
1 + 9 = 10, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 0, and 1 is added to the digit in the ones place (5)
1 + 5 = 6, so the digit in the ones place becomes 6
The digits to the right of the tenths place are dropped

5.98 rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) = 6.0
