To find the answer, look at the number in the tenths place.  The number is four, if the next number is greater than five round up if not then keep it the same.  Since 2 is less than five, keep 4 the same.  The answer would be 5.4.

The next larger tenth is 5.5 .
The next smaller tenth is 5.4 .

5.42 is closer to 5.4 than to 5.5 .

So 5.4 is the nearest tenth.
