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

I need to write a decimal where the value of a digit is 1/10 as much as a digit in-example-1
