Divide and round to the nearest tenth

55.62/ 8.8

Does 8.8 turn into 9
And does 55.62 turn into 56?

Rounding off confuses me :-'( ugh!

So,

55.62/8.8

Divide first.
3.32386363

Now round to the nearest tenth by looking at the place two places to the right of the decimal point.
3.32386363 ==> 3.3
