Amachinist uses a special tool to measure the diameter of a small pipe. the measurement tool reads 0.276 inch. what is this measure rounded to the nearest tenth?

0.3

The tenth's place is the first after the decimal. To determine how to round it, we look to the next digit in the number, which in this case is a 7. 7>5, so we round 2 up to the next digit (3). Therefore, the answer is 0.3.
