Answer:
0.705 inches,
5 thousandths or 0.005
Step-by-step explanation:
In reading and writing decimals,
\(\frac{1}{10}\) = tenths,
\(\frac{1}{100}\) = hundredths,
\(\frac{1}{1000}\) = thousandths,
\(\frac{1}{10000}\) = ten thousandths,
....... so on....
Given,
The diameter of dime = seven hundred five thousandths of an inch.
∵ seven hundred five thousandths = \(705\times \frac{1}{1000}=\frac{705}{1000}\) = 0.705
That is,
Diameter of dime = 0.705 inches,
Now, the diameter of half dollar = 1.205,
\(1.205=1+205\times \frac{1}{1000} = 1 + \frac{2}{10}+\frac{5}{1000}\)
So, the value of 5 = five thousandths.
Hence, the value of the 5 in the diameter of a half dollar is five thousandths.
