Rounding to the nearest tenth, you will only have 1 number after the decimal place. Thus the rounded number will be 78298.1, with the 0 being rounded up to 1 because of the 6 in the second decimal place.

78,298.1 is rounded to the nearest tenth. To round a specific number, you must look at the number to the right of it. If the first number to the right is 0-4, the position you are rounding stays the same. If the first number to the right is 5-9, the position you are rounding moves up one. The first number to the right of the decimal is the tenths position, and since the number to its right is a 6, the zero rounds up to a 1.

78298.1
You round to the nearest tenth, by looking at the hundredths place.
So that would be the second digit after the decimal place. If this digit is greater than or equal to 5, then you round up, and if it's less than 5, you round down.
So since, the second digit after the decimal place is 6, which is greater than or equal to 5, we have to round up, so we get 78298.1.
I hope this helps!
