It is a decimal number whose magnitude is one tenth as large.
one tenth of 87 as a decimal number = 8.7 0.1 * 87 = 8.7
You make eight and one tenth 8.1 to be a decimal.
The way to get one tenth of any number in the decimal system is to slide the decimal one place to the left. So a tenth of 3 ml would be 0.3 ml.
A number with one digit after (to the right of) the decimal point is said to have one decimal place. The number can also be said to be rounded to the nearest tenth.

The decimal number 3.1 means three and a tenth.
A number expressed to one decimal place (not one place decimal) is one that has a single digit after the decimal place. This is the digit in the tenths place so such a number may also be described as "rounded to the nearest tenth", or "accurate to a tenth".
The way to get one tenth of any number in the decimal system is to slide the decimal one place to the left. So a tenth of 3 ml would be 0.3 ml.
It is: 1/10 = 0.1
5.1 is a number with a decimal. It is five and one-tenth.
one tenth as a decimal = 0.1
A number with one digit after (to the right of) the decimal point is said to have one decimal place. The number can also be said to be rounded to the nearest tenth.
A tenth of a number deals with decimals. The way to think about a tenth is that 1/10 is one tenth, and 1/10 as a decimal is 0.1. therefore the first decimal place is always the tenth of a number, so to answer your question the nearest tenth of 15.58 would be 15.6.
