Rounded Number 3 . 8
  • 7 is in the tenths place and 5 is in the hundredths place
  • Since the digit in the hundredths place (5) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (7)
  • 1 + 7 = 8, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 8
  • The digit in the hundredths place is dropped
  • 3.75 rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) = 3.8
