Answer:   4.65 meters

========================================================

Explanation:

Let x be the length in meters, such that, when we round x to the nearest tenth then we get 4.7 meters.

The original unrounded value of x is restricted by this inequality [tex]4.65 \le x < 4.75[/tex]

Notice how 4.65 rounds to 4.7, which is why we include it as part of the possible values for x.

On the other hand, the 4.75 doesn't round to 4.7; so we exclude this endpoint. There is technically no largest x value because we could have the following x values

  • x = 4.74
  • x = 4.749
  • x = 4.7499
  • x = 4.74999
  • x = 4.749999

and so on. Each of those items rounds to 4.7; so those are examples that we don't have a largest possible x. Luckily, there is a smallest possible x value and it is x = 4.65
