Decimals start with the tenth place because they are a way to represent numbers that fall between whole numbers. The decimal point separates the whole number part from the fractional part, with each place value to the right of the decimal point representing a power of 10. The first place to the right of the decimal point is the tenths place because it represents one-tenth of a whole unit. This system allows for precise and flexible representation of values between whole numbers.
