Jaydon Randolph · Answer 2

To round a number to the nearest tenth, we must look at the hundredths place because it is the next number to the right.

In this case, 1 is in the tenths place and 6 is in the hundredths place.

If the number to the right is 0-4, then the number being rounded is rounded down.

If the number to the right is 5-9, the the number being rounded is rounded up.

Since 6 is one of the numbers in the 5-9 list, the number being rounded (1) will be rounded up.

Therefore, 1 will be round to the next whole number which is 2.

This means the number will be 314.2
