Number 9 7 . 9 6
Rounded Number 9 8 . 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 (7)
  • 1 + 7 = 8, so the digit in the ones place becomes 8
  • The digit in the hundredths place is dropped
  • 97.96 rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) = 98.0
