0.005 would be 5/1000 because how I know if it is 10ths or 100ths or 1000ths I count all the number on the right side of the decimal, hoped this could help!

Answer: 1/200

Step-by-step explanation: Using the place value chart, we can see that 0.005 means five-thousandths which can be written as the fraction 5/1000. Notice however that 5/1000 is not in lowest terms so we divide the numerator and denominator by 5 to get 1/200.

Therefore, 0.005 can be written as the fraction 1/200.
