8.3

you round up the with the thousandths place because it is over 5. 
now, the 4 in the hundredths place becomes a 5, so you round up the tenths place.
the 2 becomes a 3.

Actually the answer is 8.2

When rounding numbers, look for the number they are asking you to round to the nearest. In this case it's the tenths place.

8.246 the 2 is in the tenths place. Look at the number to the right of the 2.

8.246 the 4 is less than 5 so you have to round down. So therefore your answer is 8.2

Hope this helps. :)
