Well, honey, it's all about fractions and making math easier for us mere mortals. The "tenth place" is where you stick the first decimal because it represents dividing something into ten equal parts. Starting with the "oneth place" would just confuse the heck out of everyone, so they kept it simple for our sake. You're welcome.
Well, isn't that a happy little question! Decimals start with the tenth place because they represent parts of a whole, like a pie or a painting. Just like how a whole number represents a complete object, decimals show us smaller parts of that whole. So, starting with the tenth place helps us understand and appreciate those smaller pieces a little better.

Why does decimals start with tenth place not with oneth place?
Decimals start with the tenth place because they are a way to represent numbers that fall between whole numbers.

The first place to the right of the decimal point is the tenths place because it represents one-tenth of a whole unit. This system allows for precise and flexible representation of values between whole numbers.
