Question

3 tenth 5 thousandths is written as

• A. 35
• B. 0.35
• C. 3.5
• D. 0.305

Answer 1

The correct option is D 0.305

The first decimal digit from the decimal point is the tenth, the second decimal digit from the decimal point is the hundredth and the third decimal digit from the decimal point is the thousandths digit.

Read the whole set of three decimal digits as a number, and say, "tenths", "hundredths" and “thousandths.” 0.305 has 3 tenths, 0 hundredths, and 5 thousandths. While 0.305 is the sum of 3/10, 0/100, and 5/1000, it is also 305/1000.

So option D is the correct answer.
