When dealing with decimals, the tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal point. So, anything to the right of the tenths place would be lower than the tenths place.
To understand this better, let's break down a decimal number. For example, let's take the decimal number 0.7492:
- The digit '7' is in the tenths place.
- The digit '4' is in the hundredths place, which is lower than the tenths place.
- The digit '9' is in the thousandths place, which is lower than the hundredths place.
- The digit '2' is in the ten-thousandths place, which is lower than the thousandths place.
In summary, as you move to the right of the decimal point, you encounter smaller place values such as hundredths, thousandths, ten-thousandths, and so on. These values are all lower than the tenths place.
