Question

Caroline has five and six-hundred-twenty thousandths yards of batting to put into a quilt what is that number in standard form

Answer 1

To convert "five and six-hundred-twenty thousandths" into standard form, you start by splitting it into its whole number and decimal parts.

- The whole number part is "five," which can be written as 5.
- The decimal part "six-hundred-twenty thousandths" refers to the fraction \(\frac{620}{1000}\).

In decimal form, \(620\) thousandths is written as \(0.620\).

Now, combine the whole number and the decimal part:

\[ 5 + 0.620 = 5.620 \]

Thus, "five and six-hundred-twenty thousandths" in standard form is:

**5.620**
