To round the number 9.25 to the nearest tenth, we first need to identify the tenths and hundredths places. In this case, the number 9.25 has the tenths place as ‘2’ and the hundredths place as ‘5’.
When rounding, we look at the digit in the hundredths place (which is ‘5’) to determine whether to round up or down. The rule is that if this digit is 5 or greater, we round up the tenths place by one. If it is less than 5, we leave the tenths place as is.
Since the digit in the hundredths place is ‘5’, we round up the ‘2’ in the tenths place to a ‘3’. Therefore, 9.25 rounded to the nearest tenth is 9.3.
