To round 0.47 to the nearest tenth, follow these steps:
1. Identify the tenths place and the hundredths place in the number 0.47. [tex]\[ \underbrace{ 0.4 }_{\text{Tenths place}} \underbrace{ 7 }_{\text{Hundredths place}} \][/tex]
2. Look at the digit in the hundredths place. This digit will determine whether we round up or down. In this case, the digit is 7.
3. If the digit in the hundredths place is 5 or greater, we round up the digit in the tenths place by one. If it is less than 5, we leave the digit in the tenths place as it is.
4. Since the digit in the hundredths place (7) is greater than 5, we round up the digit in the tenths place from 4 to 5.
Therefore, 0.47 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.5.
