Answer:
9.0
Step-by-step explanation:
since we are rounding to the tenths, we look at the hundredths digit (2nd to the right of decimal point )
if the hundredths place is between 5 and 9 inclusive, then the tenths place adds one
if the hundredths place is lower than 5 then the tenths digit stays the same.
8.961
since 6 is greater than 5, we round the 9 up, making it ten, or 0 and adding one to the digit to the left, giving us 9.0
