You're right to be confused — 175.93 rounded to the nearest tenth is 175.9. Here's the step-by-step:
1. Identify the digit in the tenths place: 175.93 → tenths = 9 (the first digit after the decimal).
2. Look at the next digit to the right (the hundredths place): hundredths = 3.
3. Rounding rule: if the hundredths digit is 5 or greater, increase the tenths digit by 1; if it is less than 5, keep the tenths digit the same.
4. Since 3 < 5, keep the tenths digit 9. So 175.93 → 175.9 to the nearest tenth.
Another way to see it: the two nearest tenths are 175.9 and 176.0. The halfway point is 175.95; 175.93 is less than that, so it rounds down to 175.9.
If your lesson says 175.8, it’s likely a typo or they used a different original number (e.g., 175.84 would round to 175.8).
