Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

0.0002 can be written as 2/10000. Simplifying the fraction gives 1/5000, which is equivalent to choice D in lowest terms. To convert a decimal to a fraction, we place the digits after the decimal point in the numerator and the place value of the last digit in the denominator. In this case, the last digit is in the fourth decimal place, which is 10,000 (10 to the power of 4). So, 0.0002 can be written as 2/10,000. To reduce this fraction to lowest terms, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 1/5,000. The correct choice is D, which shows this fraction in lowest terms.
