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 number 6: 125.68
the larger number is 0.1 because a tenth, which is the first place value after the decimal is bigger than a thousandth, which is the third number after the decimal.
217.8 the same as asking to round a number to one decimal place.

The nearest tenth of 1055 is 1055.0. This is because the tenths place is the first digit after the decimal point in a number. Since 1055 is a whole number with no decimal point, the nearest tenth remains the same as the original number when expressed to one decimal place.
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 question is: What is the tenths place for 6.0999? Please remember that each number in front of the decimal and each number behind the decimal holds a place. For example; if I had 1234.5678, each number before and after the decimal holds a place. The 4 would be in the ones place, the 3 in the tens place, the 2 in the hundreds place and the 1 in the thousands place. Those are the numbers and their places before the decimal. Then after the decimal, the the 5 would be in the tenth place, the 6 in the hundredth place, the 7 in the thousandth place and the 8 in the ten thousandth place. Each place after the decimal has the letters th on it, starting with tenth. Therefore, in the number 6.0999, the 0 is in the tenth place.
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.
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.
The first place to the right of the decimal point.
