8x=Integer
x=Integer/8 and the integer must be <8
Suppose is 1/8=0.125
=> The tenth digit is ‘1’
Since for the smallest possible value of x, the tenth digit is ‘1’, the tenth digit will always be greater than or equal to ‘1’ for all higher values of x
Other possible values of x are x =1/2= 0.50 & x =1/4= 0.25. We see that the tenth digit is rather greater than ‘1’.

Carcass,
What about x=1/2, would that not give a value of 4, in which case the tens digit is "0"?
