Answer: 1.0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: "0.995 inches" ; round to the nearest TENTH of an inch.
(which means; round to the nearest "first decimal point" ; and to include the actual first decimal point (and that decimal point only, the "tenths place").
We are given the number: "0.955" . This is given to the nearest THOUSANDS.
We examine the "tenths place": "0.9" . So we know our choices are:
"0.9" (round down to the nearest tenths place); or, "1.0" (round up to the nearest tenths place).
→ We examine the number: "0.955" ; and look to the next value, the "hundredths place".
→ If that digit is 5 or greater (i.e. 5 to 9), we "round up" ; and the correct answer is: "1.0" . If that number is "4" or less (i.e. 0 to 4), we round down; and the correct answer is: "0.9".
________________________________________
In the case of our give value: "0.955" . The digit to the right of "9" is "5" ; so, as previously mentioned, we "round up" ; to: "1.0".
Do not forget to include the units.

The answer is: 1.0 inches.
