The tenth place is located where the '5' is in the following number: 2.54 So, you look at the number <em>after </em>the 5 to see if you round it up or down.
Remember the basic rule of rounding - if the digit after the digit you are rounding is 5 or above, then you round the digit up by one. If the digit is 4 or below, then you leave that digit alone.
Let's look at the first one. Rochester - 0.97 The nine is in the tenths place, and the digit after it is greater than 5, so you round it up to 1. Ithaca - 0.947 The digit after the nine is <em>below </em>five, so you don't round it up, leaving it at 0.9. Saratoga Springs - 1.5 There is no digit after the 5, so you leave this one as 1.5. New York City - 1.268 The digit after the 2 is greater than 5, so you round it up to 1.3.
