Question

One gallon is equal to 3.785 liters What is this amount rounded to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

3.8 Liters

Explanation:

Since the last number is 5 (the lowest number for rounding up), it rounds the 8 into a 9. After that, the 9 (being above 5), rounds the 7 to an 8. The tenth place only refers to the number after the decimal, so dropping the other two numbers, you get 3.8.

Answer 2

3.8

3.785 rounded to the nearest tenth would be 3.8
