Translating "show one digit after decimal (point)"

Question

I'm trying to translate "show one digit after decimal (point)". What the translators have said is "Muestra un dígito después de la coma decimal", but because of the multiple meanings of the word decimal (I am going for the decimal point), I'm not sure if this reflects the meaning of what I'm trying to say. Is there a better way to say this? Thanks!

Answer 1

Muestra un dígito después del decimal (un punto decimal can be a comma or a period, depending on the country).

Alternative: Expresa el número con un solo dígito decimal.

Mexico and Central America use periods to express decimal points. Most of the other countries use a comma.
