To round 8.61 to d nearest tenth we will see d number AFTER d tenths place. If dis number is 5 or comes AFTER 5 we will round to d next number, but if it comes BEFORE 4 we will round back,. lets see :-

8.61

Tenths place:-
8.61

After tenths place:-
8.61.

Since dis number comes BEFORE #5 we will round back. Which would make it 8.6

So, 8.61 rounded to d nearest tenth is 8.6

Hope I helped ya!! xD
