Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Tenths Place

The tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal point. In the number 14.5499, the tenths place is occupied by the digit 5.

Step 2: Determine the Rounding Rule

To round to the tenths place, we need to look at the digit in the hundredths place, which is the second digit to the right of the decimal point. In 14.5499, the hundredths place is occupied by the digit 4.

Step 3: Apply the Rounding Rule

Since the digit in the hundredths place (4) is less than 5, we do not round up. Therefore, the digit in the tenths place remains the same.
