What is 1.625 rounded to the nearest tenth

The tenths place within a decimal is the first number to the right of a decimal. Let's look at our tenths place.
6 is in our tenths place. To determine whether or not to round up or down in the tenths place, we need to look at the hundredths place for a 5 or higher.
2 is in our hundredths place, so we cannot round up. We will round down to 1.6.
1.6 is 1.625 rounded to the nearest tenth.
I hope this helps!

So, 1.625 is rounded to "1.6" because we are close to the 1.60. The value of "25" is close to the beginning number and that's hownwe foind that "1.6" would most likely be your answer


Good Luck!
