If you mean the number 5 (as in the number immediately to the right of the decimal point), that would be the tenths position.
If you mean the place value of the number 5 places to the right of the decimal point (the number 2 in this case), that would be the hundred-thousandths position.

.5 = 5*10^-1 So the place value = 10^-1 = 1/10
