how do you write in decimal form, five and fourteen thousandths?
Can you please tell me what do you get when you subtract 1000 miles from 231.05 miles?
5.014 I believe.
What you do is you would leave the whole number and put it behind the decimal and then divide 14 by 1000.
To convert a fraction into decimal form, for example. 5 " 1/32" that's five inches and one thirty second of a inch. So 1 ÷ 32= 0.03125 of a inch. Most cases people only use the first 3 digits after the decimal, cause past that is ten thousandths then hundred thousandths then millionths, and that's very very tiny microscopic measurements. A human hair is about 0.003" thick or 3 thousands thick. Not all measurement are standard, some could be metric. 1/64" is fairly hard to see with the naked eye but some can. 1÷64= 0.015 so that's 15 thousands, so your number is 14 thousands and past the standard measurements on a scale or precision ruler. That gives you a idea about how fractions and decimals in inches work. And thousands of a inch is widly used but 10 thousands of and inch is more rare to see being used. There are 1000 thousands in one inch. .999 is .0001 away from being 1 inch 1.000" hope this helps someone or atleast find it Interesting.
To write the number five and fourteen thousandths in decimal form, you need to understand place value. Each digit to the right of the decimal point represents a fraction of the whole number.
Here's a breakdown of how to do it:
1. Start with the whole number part, which is 5 in this case.
2. The decimal point goes after the whole number part.
3. Now look at the fraction part, which is fourteen thousandths.
4. The word "thousandths" indicates that the fraction is out of 1,000.
5. To convert it into decimal form, divide the fraction by 1,000. In this case, 14 divided by 1,000 equals 0.014.
6. Combine the whole number part and the fraction part with the decimal point in between. Therefore, five and fourteen thousandths in decimal form is written as 5.014.
So, the decimal form of five and fourteen thousandths is 5.014.
