Answer: 3.1

Explain:
To convert to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator

43 / 14 = 3.07142857

Now round to the nearest tenth, which is the first number to the right of the decimal (0).
Look to the number to the right of the tenth place, (7) if it’s 5 or bigger you round up the tenth place. 7 is bigger so round up the (0) to 1. Final answer is 3.1
