Rounding Numbers to the Nearest Tenth

This video tutorial teaches how to round numbers to the nearest tenth. It begins by explaining how to identify the number in the tenth place and evaluate the number to its right.

The video provides four examples: 1.63, 12.29, 44.56, and 100.33, demonstrating the rounding process for each.
