Should be 0.005 because Multiply both numerator and denominator by 5 to make the denominator as powers of 10:
= 1
200
x 5
5

= 5
Then The numerator 5 of fraction 5/1000 can also be expressed as 5.00. Being 1000 as the denominator, move the decimal point 3 decimal places from right to left in the numerator to write the fraction as decimal number.
= 5
1000

= 0.005

So this is how
1/200 as a decimal is 0.005
