Answer 1

To round 46.74 kilometers to the nearest tenth, we follow these steps:

1. Identify the tenths place, which is the first digit after the decimal point. In this case, that digit is 7.
2. Look one place to the right (the hundredths place). The digit in the hundredths place is 4.
3. Since 4 is less than 5, we round down.

Therefore, 46.74 rounded to the nearest tenth is 46.7.

So, the correct response is: 46.7
