Round to the nearest tenth... redondea a la décima más cercana
Why is décima feminine? The tenth place (lugar). Shouldn't it be décimo?

This word when used as a noun can be male or female un décimo / una décima depending on the subject of discussion this should help
In your example it´s not an adjective, but a noun.

Thanks, but the link wasn't that helpful. The subject of this discussion is decimal places. Tenths, hundredths, thousands. I checked online and all of them were feminine. I don't know why that is - Ramonaspiker, Jan 23, 2017
Look at # 3 and 4 that show masculine usages - 005faa61, Jan 23, 2017
So are these decimal places feminine because they are "parte" de una "fracción"? - Ramonaspiker, Jan 23, 2017
