Question

Write the following as decimal:
Forty seven and six thousandths

Answer 1

Hint: In the above question, we need to write Forty seven and six thousandths in decimals. Now, we know that when a number is written in whole number part and fractional part separated by a decimal point, it is known as decimal number. Now, we know about the decimal numbers. So, what we will do now is take the given number as two separated parts and place the decimal points between these two parts. This will lead us to a correct answer.

Complete step by step solution:
 In the above problem, we have to write the given number as a decimal number.
So, we will take the given number in two parts. We will take forty seven as the whole number part and six thousandths as fractional and then separating them by decimal point will be the correct answer.
Now, the whole number part is $47$
And the fractional part can be written as $\dfrac{6}{1000}$
Now, this can be written as
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{6}{1000}$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{0}{10}+\dfrac{0}{100}+\dfrac{6}{1000}$
Now, adding the whole number part and fractional part,
We get,
$\Rightarrow 47+\dfrac{0}{10}+\dfrac{0}{100}+\dfrac{6}{1000}$
$\Rightarrow 47+0+0+0.006$
Now, on simplifying the equation,
We get,
$\Rightarrow 47.006$

Hence, the correct answer of the given problem is $47.006$.

Note: We know that we can write any number in decimal numbers. Always remember one point whenever you are adding any number beyond the decimals we have to start it from the units place then move forward to tens, hundredths and so on… If there is a decimal the same rule is applied, start it from the units place then move forward to tens, hundredths and so on. The most important point is that in your calculation we have to line up the decimals points. These are some of the important points we need to remember while solving this type of problem.
