Ian mailed a package that weighed 5.63 pounds.

Round the number to nearest tenth

First step:

Ones. Tenth hundredth

5. 6 3

To round to nearest tenth we look at the number in hundredth place

3 is smaller than 5 so we replace 3 with 0.

Step 2: 3 in hundredths place is smaller than 0. so no need to add 1 in tenths place. 6 remains the same in tenths place

5.63 rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.6
