#0.8#

#0color(red)(.7)color(blue)(6)133#

To round to 1 decimal place (which represents tenths), means we want the answer as either #color(red)(0.7)" or " color(red)(0.8)#

You need to look at the digit in the 2nd decimal place (hundredths).
If that digit is 5 or more, you round UP to the next tenth (8).

If that digit is less than 5 you round DOWN to the given tenth (7)

We see that the second digit is #color(blue)(6)#

We round up to 1 decimal place to get #color(red)0.8#

This is comparable to #76# being closer to #80# than #70#
