You could right click and select format > number and then tell
it only 1 decimal. It won't prevent them from putting one in
but it will round it to 1 decimal.

You could use a custom data validation:

Select the cell
Choose Data>Validation
From the Allow dropdown, choose Custom
In the Formula box, type a formula that refers to the selected cell,
e.g.: =D3=ROUND(D3,1)
(optional) Add an Input Message and/or an Error Alert
Click OK
