Your answer :
.2910 = .228 (rounded).
You rounded in the wrong direction.
.29  ×  8 2.32  ×  8 2.56  ×  8 4.48  ×  8 3.84
You get .2910 = .22438 from the calculation. Since .0048 is (1)/(2) the magnitude that can be expressed in the third octal place, .00438 is more than half and .22438 is closer to .238 than to .228.
