Rounding to the nearest tenth means rounding to the decimal place directly to the right of the decimal.
The rules of rounding are fairly simple. If the number to the right of the number you are rounding is greater than or equal to 5, you round up. If the number to the right is less than 5, you round down.
Let's take a look at the number 12.345.
First, round to the hundredths place. The number right before the 4 is 5, so we round up. This gives us the number 12.35.
Next, we have to round to the tenths place. The number to the right of the 3 is 5, so we round up as well. This gives us the number 12.4.

Answer:
To write as a scientific notation in this problem, just make something 0.0 x 10n
In this case, this is 8.9. Then, think about how many 10s have to be multiplied to make 8900.
It's three!
Move the decimal point left to 3 places to make 5.78. Then, n is the number of decimal places you moved:3
Same goes to the case 0.034. You need to make something 0.0 x 10n
Hence, move the decimal point right to 2 places to make 3.4. How many decimal places did you move?Two!
But because you went right to make it from 0.034 to 3.4, n becomes -2(the number got 100 times smaller).
Just don't forget to add that negative sign after you have solved a problem involving a number smaller than 1.
