It depends on what kind of measurement you are making, but it would generally be the digit farthest to the right. For example, if you have good eyes and a good ruler, and you are measuring something in millimeters, you can estimate tenths of a millimeter.

Suppose the end of the rectangle is about a third of the way from the 74 to the 75, then you good estimate that the length is 74.3 mm. The digit you estimated is the last one, the 3.
