Answer :

Final answer:

The temperature 38.2 would remain as 38.2 when rounded to the nearest tenth because there is no digit in hundredths place to influence rounding.

Explanation:

The temperature that you've recorded with a celsius thermometer is 38.2. When rounding to the nearest tenth, we need to look at the number in the hundredths place. In this case, that number is 0 (as there is no digit there). Generally, if the hundredth digit is 5 or more, we will round up, less than 5 and we will keep the number as is. In this case there is no number so we keep the tenth digit as it is. Hence, the temperature will be 38.2.
