Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

You do 40➗2 which you would get 20.

Then you would round 20 to the nearest tenth, then you get 20.

Because if the number on the left/right is between 0 and 4, the whole number stays the same.

Note: 0-4 stays the same 5-9 higher number.

For example: Rounding 164 to the nearest tenth will become 160.
