Explanation:

Question 5

Step1: Identify the tenths and hundredths digits

The number is \(0.3658\). The tenths digit is \(3\) and the hundredths digit is \(6\).

Step2: Apply rounding rule

Since the hundredths digit (\(6\)) is greater than or equal to \(5\), we round up the tenths digit. So \(3\) becomes \(4\).

Step1: Identify the tenths and hundredths digits

The number is \(3.9467\). The tenths digit is \(9\) and the hundredths digit is \(4\).

Step2: Apply rounding rule

Since the hundredths digit (\(4\)) is less than \(5\), we leave the tenths digit as it is. But wait, when we round \(3.9467\) to the nearest tenths, the hundredths digit is \(4\), but wait, actually, let's re - check. Wait, the tenths place is \(9\), hundredths is \(4\). Wait, no, wait, the rule is: look at the digit to the right of the place we are rounding to (tenths place, so look at hundredths place). The number is \(3.9467\), tenths digit is \(9\), hundredths digit is \(4\). Since \(4<5\), we keep the tenths digit as \(9\)? Wait, no, wait, no, wait, \(3.9467\): tenths place is \(9\), the digit to the right (hundredths) is \(4\). But wait, wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, \(3.9467\), when rounding to the nearest tenth, we look at the hundredths digit. The hundredths digit is \(4\), which is less than \(5\), so we round down? But wait, \(3.9467\) is closer to \(3.9\) or \(4.0\)? Wait, no, the tenths place is \(9\), the number is \(3.9467\). The digit in the hundredths place is \(4\), so we don't round up the tenths place. But wait, \(3.9467\) rounded to the nearest tenth: the tenths digit is \(9\), the next digit (hundredths) is \(4\), so we keep the tenths digit as \(9\), so the number is \(3.9\)? Wait, no, wait, no, let's do it properly. The tenths place is the first digit after the decimal, so in \(3.9467\), tenths digit is \(9\), hundredths is \(4\). The rule for rounding: if the digit to the right of the target place (tenths) is \(5\) or more, we round up the target digit; if less than \(5\), we leave it. So since \(4 < 5\), we leave the tenths digit as \(9\), so \(3.9467\) rounded to the nearest tenth is \(3.9\)? Wait, no, wait, that can't be right. Wait, no, wait, \(3.9467\): let's think of it as \(3.9 + 0.0467\). The \(0.0467\) is less than \(0.05\), so when rounding to the nearest tenth, we have \(3.9\). But wait, another way: \(3.9467\) is between \(3.9\) and \(4.0\). The distance from \(3.9467\) to \(3.9\) is \(0.0467\), and to \(4.0\) is \(0.0533\). So it's closer to \(3.9\). Wait, but wait, maybe I messed up the digits. Wait, the tenths place is \(9\), the digit to the right (hundredths) is \(4\), so we don't round up. So the answer is \(3.9\)? Wait, no, wait, no, wait, \(3.9467\) rounded to the nearest tenth: the correct way is, the tenths digit is \(9\), the hundredths digit is \(4\), so we round down, so \(3.9\). But wait, let's check with a calculator. If we round \(3.9467\) to the nearest tenth, it is \(3.9\)? Wait, no, wait, no, wait, \(3.9467\): the tenths place is \(9\), the next digit is \(4\), so we keep the tenths digit as \(9\), so the number is \(3.9\). Wait, but I think I made a mistake earlier. Let's re - explain:

Step1: Identify the relevant digits

For \(3.9467\), the tenths place is the first digit after the decimal, which is \(9\). The digit to the right of the tenths place (the hundredths place) is \(4\).

Step2: Apply the rounding rule

The rounding rule is: when rounding to a certain place, look at the digit immediately to the right. If that digit is \(5\) or greater, round up the digit in the place we are rounding to; if it is less than \(5\), leave the digit in the place we are rounding to as it is.

Since \(4<5\), we leave the tenths digit (\(9\)) as it is. So \(3.9467\) rounded to the nearest tenths place is \(3.9\). Wait, but wait, another perspective: \(3.9467\) is \(3.9 + 0.0467\). The \(0.0467\) is less than \(0.05\…

Answer:

\(0.4\)
