The thousandth's place is the place value at the third digit after the decimal point. Here, the thousandth's place is occupied by 7 \boxed{7} .

Note: The above number can be expressed as follows: 1 × 1 0 3 + 2 × 1 0 2 + 3 × 1 0 1 + 4 × 1 0 0 + 5 × 1 0 1 + 6 × 1 0 2 + 7 × 1 0 3 + 8 × 1 0 4 + 9 × 1 0 5 1 \times 10^3 + 2 \times 10^2 + 3 \times 10^1 + 4 \times 10^0 + 5 \times 10^{-1} + 6 \times 10^{-2} + 7 \times 10^{-3} + 8 \times 10^{-4} + 9 \times 10^{-5} . The digit multiplied with 1 0 3 10^{-3} is the digit at thousandth's place.

" 1 "can as well be the answer

A decimal is a fractional number and is indicated by digits after a period which is called a decimal point.

Tenths have one digit after the decimal point. The decimal 0.8 is pronounced "eight tenths" or "zero point eight". It is equal to the fraction 8/10.

Hundredths have two digits after the decimal point. The decimal 0.36 is pronounced "thirty-six hundredths" or "zero point thirty-six". It is equal to the fraction 36/100.

Thousandths follow a similar pattern. They have three digits after the decimal point. The decimal 0.749 is pronounced "seven hundred forty-nine thousandths" or "zero point seven forty-nine".

There may be zeros after the decimal point. The decimal 0.064 is pronounced "sixty-four thousandths" or "zero point zero sixty-four".

The third number from the decimal point to the right is called the number in the thousandths place. The number on the left of the decimal is in the one's place, so going from the right of the decimal: 5 is in the ten's place, 6 is in the hundredths place, and 7 is in the thousandths place.

Also, thousands is referring to the numbers on the left of the decimal point, while thousand ths is referring to the numbers on the right of the decimal point. Don't get confused and do this simple mistake! You should read the question carefully to make sure you know which number the question is actually referring to.

The first digit to the right of the decimal point is in the tenths place. Thus, the second digit to the right of the decimal point is in the hundredths place, and the third digit to the right of the decimal point is in the thousandths place.

The third digit to the right of the decimal point (thousandths place) is 7.

1 is the "thousand" place, 2 is the "hundred" place, 3 is the "ten" place and 4 is the "one" place. The 5 is the "tenth" place, the 6 is the "hundreth" place, and the 7 is the "thousandth" place.

The answer is obviously 7 \boxed{7} . What else is there to write about?

.x is the tenths .y is the hundredths .z is the thousandths

thousands and thousandths are 2 different terms. Thousands refers to the numbers at the left of the decimal point, while thousandths refers to the digits at the right of the decimal point. In this case the numbers at the right of the decimal point are 56789. In decimals, the first digit from the right of the decimal point is called the 'tenths' and so by merely moving two steps right, we can find the thousandths. In this case, the answer is 7.

The whole number 1-4 is read to Ones,Tens,Hundreds,Thousands . While the decimal part that is 5-9 is read like this Tenths,Hundredths,Thousandths,Ten Thousandths,Hundred Thousandths.The Tenths place is 5 , the Hundredths place is 6 , the Thousandths place is 7, the Ten Thousandths place is 8 , and the Hundredths Thousandths place is 9 . So the Thousandths place is 7 .

The number 7 is in the thousandths place of the given number.

In the decimal system, we know the value of each digit from the position that it takes. So, in the number 143,269, 6 is not merely a 6—it actually stands for 60. In any whole number, we have, from right to left, the ones place; the tens place; the hundreds place; the thousands place; the ten-thousands place; the hundred-thousands place, and so on. The same holds true for decimals, which have digits after the decimal point. The digit immediately to the right of the decimal point is the tenths place; followed by hundredths place; followed by thousandths place; followed by ten-thousandths place; and so on.

How is this a level 3 question?

I think levels are decided by how many people could actually solve it. And I think many people misunderstood the concepts, or maybe gave the answer wrong. I think that's why it got into level 3! I am just saying that, I don't have any idea about it!

Ajay Maity - 7 years, 5 months ago

Some people probably forgot the difference between thousands and thousand ths and got the question wrong.

Lakshmi Tumati - 7 years, 5 months ago

I have no idea
