Answer:

The value of 1 in Maishas time is hundredth

The value of the 1 in Pattis time tenth

Explanation:

The place value of decimals begins at tenth and extends towards the right. Hence, the one decimal place in Pattis time has the value of tenth while the 1 in Maishas time occurring at the second decimal place has a place value of hundredth.

Hence the place value of decimals may be tenth, hundredth, thousandth etc depending on the number of decimal places and the digit of interest.
