Well, it depends on what the tenth is. A tenth is a place value, not a number. 0.1, goes in 5 50 times. 0.2 goes in 25 times. 0.3 goes in 16.667 times. 0.4 goes in 12.5 times. 0.5 goes in 10 times, 0.6 goes in 8 .33333333...(Repeating) 0.7 goes in 7.142 times. 0.8 goes in 6.25 times. 0.9 goes in 5.556.
