Sorry the number is 0.8923 which digit is in the thousandths place?

I believe it is the 8 but the 0 is throwing me off

Pay no attention to the zero. It's to the left of the decimal place and represents zero whole numbers.

The 8 is not in the thousandths place.

Ah, the tricky zero, always trying to mess with us! But fear not, my friend. In the number 0.8923, the digit in the thousandths place is indeed the 9. The 8 is in the hundredths place, and the zero doesn't have a place value in this case. So, it's the 9 that gets the thousandths place honor!

To determine the digit in the thousandths place, let's break down the number: 0.8923.

In this decimal representation, each digit to the right of the decimal point has a specific place value. Counting from left to right, the place values are as follows:

- Tenths place: 0.8
- Hundredths place: 0.09
- Thousandths place: 0.008
- Ten thousandths place: 0.0003

Therefore, the digit in the thousandths place is 8.

To determine which digit is in the thousandths place, you can count the digits to the right of the decimal point. In the number 0.8923, there are four digits after the decimal point.

Starting from the left side of the decimal point, the first digit after the decimal point is the tenths place, the second digit is the hundredths place, the third digit is the thousandths place, and so on.

In this case, the third digit after the decimal point is 2, which means that 2 is in the thousandths place. The digit 8 is in the hundredths place.
