1 1
Number 0 . 9 6
Rounded Number 1 . 0
  • 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 (0)
  • 1 + 0 = 1, so the digit in the ones place becomes 1
  • The digit in the hundredths place is dropped
  • 0.96 rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) = 1.0
