Question 394371: What Is 4.291 to the nearest tenth

Look at the tenths place, which is underlined: 4.291


Now look to the next digit to the right (which is in red): 4.291


Since this number is at least 5 or more, this means that we're going to add 1 to the underlined digit above, which is 2. We ignore the rest of the digits to the right of our underlined digit. So we now have the number 4.3


So the answer is 4.3
