  • 9 is in the tenths place and 7 is in the hundredths place
  • Since the digit in the hundredths place (7) 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 (8)
  • 1 + 8 = 9, so the digit in the ones place becomes 9
  • The digits to the right of the tenths place are dropped
  • 998.97 rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) = 999.0
