Use digits to write eighty five hundred thousandths
to convert from units to thousandths, shift the decimal point to the left 3 places:
8500 units = 8500
8500 tenths = 850.0
8500 hundredths = 85.00
8500 thousandths = 8.500
To write eighty five hundred thousandths using digits, we can break it down into three parts: 85, 100, and 1,000.
First, let's write 85. This is the number 85, which can be represented as "85".
Next, we need to express hundredths. Since "hundredths" means dividing something into 100 equal parts, we use the fraction 1/100. In decimal form, this is written as 0.01.
Lastly, we need to express thousandths. Since "thousandths" means dividing something into 1,000 equal parts, we use the fraction 1/1,000. In decimal form, this is written as 0.001.
To combine these parts, we multiply 85 by 0.01 and then multiply the result by 0.001.
85 x 0.01 = 0.85
0.85 x 0.001 = 0.00085
Therefore, eighty five hundred thousandths is written as 0.00085.
