In the middle of the sternum.
Imagine 2 lines; one goes across the chest joining both nipples, the other one goes top to bottom right down the middle of the chest (on the sternum - that hard bone between left ribs & right ribs). Put your hand(s) where the two meet and you'll be about right.
Current practice no longer has you tracing ribs and trying to find the right spot - it just takes too long!

First you should tilt their head back and try to unobstruct the air way for CPR. If it is to give the heimlick, the above is true.

Continuous effective CPR proper chest compressions and ventilations should include?
Continuous effective CPR proper chest compressions and ventilations should include: 1. Open the airway properly (head tilt chin lift method unless head or back injury then use jaw thrust method) and to the correct angle (more angle for adults, less for a child and even less for an infant) 2. Ensure each breath makes the chest rise the proper amount (Adult 1 1/2 - 2 inches; Child 1 - 1 1/2 inches; Infant 1/2 - 1 inch) 3. Don't blow too hard or too fast when giving breaths (air will go into stomach) 4. For chest compressions ensure proper hand and body location 5. Ensure each compression is to the proper depth (Adult 1 1/2 - 2 inches; Child 1 - 1 1/2 inches; Infant 1/2 - 1 inch) 6. Don't jerk when giving compressions 7. Hands should not leave chest on the up motion of compressions 8. Count out loud when giving compressions to maintain rhythm

The compression rate for CPR should be the same as an adult. That is 100 chest compressions per minute. The ratio of compressions to breaths should stillbe 30:2. Just like an adult.
