Question

Sixty three thousandth is equal to
(A) $0.63$
(B) $0.603$
(c) $0.063$
(D) $0.630$

Answer 1

Hint: One thousandth is ${1000}^{th}$ part of $1$ . That means one thousandth is equal to ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{1000}}$ .
So we can get sixty three thousandth by dividing sixty three by 1000.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In algebra, a decimal number can be defined as a number whose whole number part and the fractional part is separated by a decimal point. The dot in a decimal number is called a decimal point. The digits following the decimal point show a value smaller than one.
One thousandth is equal to ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{1000}}$
In the same way, sixty three thousandth is ${1000}^{th}$ part of $63$ .
We will get that by dividing $63$ by $1000$
Therefore, sixty three thousandth $={\displaystyle \frac{63}{1000}}$
 $=0.063$
Therefore, from the above explanation, the correct answer is, option (c) $0.063$
So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Note: The third decimal decimal digit from the decimal point is the thousandth digit. In case of 63. After dividing it by $1000$ , we get $0.063$ where $0$ is the tenth, $6$ is the hundredth and $3$ is the thousandth digit in it.
