Answer:

593.0

Explanation:

If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up. If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down.

The 9 is in the tenth place, so we look to the 6 to find the answer. Since 6 is over 5, we will round up. The number after .9 is 1.0, but 1.0 cannot fit in one decimal place. So then, you add the 1.0 to the 592 to get 593.0
