5.014 I believe.
What you do is you would leave the whole number and put it behind the decimal and then divide 14 by 1000.
how do you write in decimal form, five and fourteen thousandths?

Can you please tell me what do you get when you subtract 1000 miles from 231.05 miles?
To convert a fraction into decimal form, for example. 5 " 1/32" that's five inches and one thirty second of a inch. So 1 ÷ 32= 0.03125 of a inch. Most cases people only use the first 3 digits after the decimal, cause past that is ten thousandths then hundred thousandths then millionths, and that's very very tiny microscopic measurements. A human hair is about 0.003" thick or 3 thousands thick. Not all measurement are standard, some could be metric. 1/64" is fairly hard to see with the naked eye but some can. 1÷64= 0.015 so that's 15 thousands, so your number is 14 thousands and past the standard measurements on a scale or precision ruler. That gives you a idea about how fractions and decimals in inches work. And thousands of a inch is widly used but 10 thousands of and inch is more rare to see being used. There are 1000 thousands in one inch. .999 is .0001 away from being 1 inch 1.000" hope this helps someone or atleast find it Interesting.
