1 1
Number 1 6 . 9 7
Rounded Number 1 7 . 0
  • 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 (6)
  • 1 + 6 = 7, so the digit in the ones place becomes 7
  • The digit in the hundredths place is dropped
  • 16.97 rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) = 17.0
