You move the decimal point 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.
