Answer:

0.904

Explanation:

You want the decimal version of "nine hundred four thousandths".

Reading decimals

A decimal fraction is read (expressed in words) as the number to the right of the decimal point followed by the place value of the least-significant digit:

0.2 = "two tenths"

0.34 = "thirty-four hundredths"

0.904 = "nine hundred four thousandths"

0.0008 = "eight ten-thousandths"

Fraction

The same reading applies to the number written as a fraction:

2/10 = "two tenths"

34/100 = "thirty-four hundredths"

904/1000 = "nine hundred four thousandths"

8/10000 = "eight ten-thousandths"

Each of these can be converted to a decimal by recognizing the meaning of the various parts of the fraction:

904/1000 = 904 × 1/1000

= 904 × 0.001 = 0.904

Additional comment

When reading a decimal number that has an integer part and a fractional part, the location of the decimal point is often signified by the word "and":

"nine hundred and four thousandths" = 900 + 0.004 = 900.004

This suggests you need to be somewhat careful with the use of "and" when pronouncing a decimal number.
