The tenths place was the value closest to the decimal. So we round to there

#3 9 .color(red)(2) color(blue)(3) 4#

Look at the value next to #color(red)(2)#, which is #color(blue)(3)#. Is #color(blue)(3)# greater than or equal to #5# or is it smaller?

That's right, #color(blue)(3)# is smaller than #5#, so we round down

Our final answer, rounded to the tenths place, is #3 9 .color(red)(2) #
