because 9 is in the tenths place and you use the number 5 to round up or down

You take the number behind it and is it is 4 or lower you keep it the same. If it's 5 or higher you add one.

 

4.953

6 is higher than 3. You then add 1 to 3. 

Your answer is 4.9536

The digit in the tenths position is 9, but rounding it up requires adding .1 because the digit after the 9 is a 5. So the answer is 5.0. The zero is necessary to show the degree of accuracy, whereas 5 by itself would not.
