The value of digits in a whole number starts from ones. Ten ones become tens. Ten tens become a hundred and so on. Thus, value starts from one and continues as tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, and so on.
Similarly, for a decimal number the place value starts from tenths. It is called tenths because it is one tenth, that is 1/10 or 0.1. Tenths are followed by hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, millionths, and so on.
