Question

Write the following number as a decimal number in standard form.four thousand, and fifty-nine ten-thousandths

Answer 1

If one understands fifty-nine ten-thousandths as the bulk of the decimal part,

`\begin{gathered} ten-thousandths=(1)/(10000)=0.0001 \\ \Rightarrow fifty-nine\text{ ten-thousandths}=59*(1)/(10000)=(59)/(10000)=0.0059 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the answer is

`4000.0059`
