Decimal notation for tenths

Sam and Amber are in Lisa's spaceship when they accidentally press a button and the ship takes off. Bandit craft attack them but they fight them off. They are wondering how to get back to Earth when Lisa returns - their trip in space was only a simulation. However, Lisa is astounded when she sees Amber's reaction time of 0.1 seconds, and says it's the quickest reaction time she has known. Amber does not realise how successful she has been until Numberella explains about tenths of a second as decimal fractions.
