Tenths is a fraction. You take whatever it is and divided into ten equal pieces. You can have tenths of meters, of miles, of light years, of gallons, etc etc.
If you start off with one whole of thatever, then you have ten tenths.
If you start off with less than one whole of whatever, then you can use tenths to say how much you've got, and how much that's gone.
