To round a number to the nearest tenth we look at the hundredth place

If the digit in the hundredth place is 5 or greater than 5, then we add the digit in the tenths place by 1 and remove the digits right to it

If the digit in the hundredth place is less than 5, we removed all the digits right to the tenth digit

Since the number is 50.26

The digit in the hundredth place is 6 (greater than 5)

Then add the digit in the tenths place by 1 and remove the digit in the hundredth place

The number is 50.3

50.26 is rounded to 50.3 to the nearest tenth
