Answer:

27.7

Explanation:

For this problem, we will simply use standard rounding conventions to round the number to the nearest tenth.

If the number after the target, the hundreths place in this case, is between 0 and 4, we won't change the tenths place. If the number is between 5 and 9, we will increment the tenths place by one.

So for our number, 27.68, 8 is between 5 and 9 so we will increment the tenths place by one for the round.

Hence, our rounded answer for the nearest tenth is 27.7.

Cheers.
