It is true because after the decimal the digit is in the tenths catagory then hundreths and thousandths etc. That is why it is tenths.

Answer=True

When rounding 16.437 to the nearest tenth, we need to look to the hundreds place.

16.437

The number 3 is in the hundreds place

The rules of rounding are:

If the number is 5 or greater, then you round up.

If the number is 4 or less, Then you round down.

Since 3 is less than 4, we would round down. So...

16.437 becomes 16.4
