1.97 rounded to the nearest tenth

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 (1)
1 + 1 = 2, so the digit in the ones place becomes 2
The digits to the right of the tenths place are dropped

1.97 rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) = 2.0
