To convert the fraction five and three hundred forty-nine thousandths into a decimal, you need to divide the numerator (five) by the denominator (1000) of the fraction.
First, write the whole number part (five) as a fraction with the denominator 1. It would be written as 5/1.
Next, multiply the whole number part (5/1) by the denominator of the fractional part (1000) to make it a fraction with the same denominator.
5/1 * 1000/1 = 5000/1
Now, add the fractional part, which is three hundred forty-nine thousandths. It can be written as 349/1000.
Adding the whole number part and the fractional part gives us:
5000/1 + 349/1000 = (5000 * 1000 + 349) / 1000 = 5000349/1000
Finally, simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, we cannot simplify it further.
