Question

What is 2.24 rounded to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

2.2 because if its was 2.25 you would round to 2.3 but because it is 2.24 you round down giving 2.2 

Answer 2

One tenth is 0.1.  Therefore, the answer has to be 2.x.  Since 4 is less than 5, the 2 remains the same.  The answer is 2.2.
