In rounding up numbers, it must be taken to note that if the number is greater that or equal to 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, hence if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will stay the same. Nearest tenth, means the first unit starting from the decimal point.

=6.1712

7 is greater that 5, this means that the tenth place, which is 1 will be added by 1.

= 6.2
