They always try to trick you with this.  Remember anything 5 or above would round up, anything 4 and under would round down.  So look for the tenth place.  that's the 9.  The number to the right is 8 which is greater than 5.  That means round up.  You can't round it to 0.1 because that takes it back down.  So you just move it over.  The answer is 1.0.
