Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Tens are whole numbers that are multiplied by ten, like 10, 20, 30, and so on. Tenths, on the other hand, are parts of a whole divided into ten equal parts, like 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and so forth. So, in a nutshell, tens are big ol' numbers, while tenths are itsy bitsy fractions.
