The first place to the right of the decimal point.
1.1 is to the first decimal place
The '9' is in the "first decimal" place and the '3' is in the "second decimal" place.Rules for roundingIf the number in the second decimal place is 5 or greater then the number in the first decimal place is rounded upwards by 1.If the number in the second decimal place is 4 or less then the number in the first decimal place is left unchanged.As the problem in this case is 3.93 and the number in the second decimal place is less than 5, we end up with3.9 "correct to one decimal place" or "rounded to one decimal place".
First, determine what number is in the second decimal place. As it is a five in this case, the first decimal place is rounded up with the answer becoming 3.5.
The second decimal place is 5 or more, so the first decimal place increases by 1.69.6
The first place to the right of the decimal place is tenths

5.361 to the first decimal place is 5.4.
The ten place is the first number to the right of the decimal.
3.56 rounded to one decimal place is 3.6

The first to the right of the decimal point.
There is no "one" in decimal place value. The first decimal place is known as tenths.Thus, 2.4 is equal to two and four tenths.
One decimal place indicates that the answer will have one digit after the period. Because we have more than one digit in the orginal answer, we look at the digit to the right of the first decimal place (the decimal place we want the answer reported to) to see how we are going to report the answer to one decimal place. Because it is a 9, we round up the first decimal place. The answer is 1.0 .
