To round the number 8.1652 to the nearest tenth, follow these steps:
1. Identify the digit in the tenths place. For 8.1652, the tenths digit is 1 (the first digit to the right of the decimal point).
2. Look at the digit immediately to the right of the tenths place to determine whether to round up or down. This digit is 6 (the second digit to the right of the decimal point).
3. If this digit is 5 or greater, you round the tenths digit up by one. If it is less than 5, you leave the tenths digit as it is. Here, the digit is 6, which is greater than 5.
4. Therefore, you round the tenths digit 1 up by one to 2.
5. The rounded number retains only the tenths place while the digits beyond the tenths place are dropped.
So, 8.1652 rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.2.
