1/10 is the same as saying 10 times less
Refer to the diagram below
The digit as the first decimal place is worth 1/10
The digit as the second decimal place is worth 1/100 which is 1/10 worth the digit as the first decimal place
Example of two decimal numbers:
2.56 and 2.68
The digit 6 in 2.56 is 6/100
The digit 6 in 2.68 is 6/10
The digit 6 in 2.56 is 1/10 as much as the digit 6 in 2.68
