The first and second places to the left of the decimal point respectively.
0.1111111111111111111111111111111111111 (the 1s go on forever)
To the left
10 th place
10% when expressed in decimal form is 0.1. The first decimal place right to the decimal is called a tenth
round 0.2975 to 1 decimal place = 0.3
To the Right
You move the decimal point one place to the right.
0.7
The decimal point moves one place to the right
This relates back to place values. In the non-decimal side of a number (we'll use 123.456 as an example) the one is in the hundreds place, the 2 is in the tens place, and the 3 is in the one's place. Notice that hundreds, tens and 1 are all a power of ten. 100 is 10^2. 10 is 10^1 and 1 is 10^0. Once you pass the decimal place, you go into the negative exponent. So the next place into the decimal place is 10^-1 which is the same as 1/10 which is also known as a tenth.
