Question
Ms sue I'm sorry I'm totally confused its says round to the nearest tenth in a square kilometer
How can I round 297.85 km to the nearest tenth? Her answer was 297.85 but I'm thinking it should have been 300.00 kilometer because the yes place is 5 or more

297.85 >> the 8 is in the tenths place.
The number in the place to the left, the hundredths place is 5, so you must round up to the next tenths place.
297.85 = 297.9
