Answer:

53.3

Explanation:

One way to do this is to add half a tenth, 0.05, then drop all the digits of the result to the right of the tenths digit.

53.2785 +0.05 = 53.3285

Dropping digits to the right of the tenths place, we have ...

53.3

_____

The effect of this is to increase the tenths digit by 1 if the hundredths digit is 5 or more. That is the usual instruction given for rounding to tenths. (Then drop hundredths and digits to the right.)
