Question

Express $\frac{5}{1000}$ in the decimal form.

• A. $5$
• B. $0.5$
• C. $0.05$
• D. $0.005$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $0.005$

While converting fraction with a denominator containing a power of $10$, into a decimal number, we simply shift the decimal point to the left, $n$ times, where $n$ is the number of zeros in the denominator.

$\frac{5}{1000}=0.005$
