- 9 is in the tenths place and 6 is in the hundredths place
- Since the digit in the hundredths place (6) 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 (3)
- 1 + 3 = 4, so the digit in the ones place becomes 4
- The digits to the right of the tenths place are dropped
- 403.9658 rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) = 404.0
