0.3
Explanation:
Look at the tenths place (the first place to the right of the decimal point where the 3 is).
To know if you will round up or down, look to the number immediately to the RIGHT of the tenths place (hundredths place where the 4 is).
Rounding Rules:
Number is less than 5, round DOWN.
Number is more or equal to 5, round UP.
Since 4 is less than 5, you have to round the 3 DOWN.
This means the 3 stays as a 3. Disregard all numbers after the 3 because you only want to round to the nearest TENTH.
Answer: 0.3
