0.012
12 thousandths = 0.12 in decimal
12 over 1000 (.1 is 1/10 .01 is 1/100 and .001 is 1/1000) If you multiply .012 by 1000 you will get 12 (a whole number without a remainder.) Which is why 12 divided by 1000 equals .012 or 12/1000 = .012 Just like each place number before a decimal is a multiple of 10 (eg 1, 10, 100, 1,000 etc) so each place number after a decimal is a devision of 10 as shown above.
.012 = 0 + (0/10) + (1/100) + (2/1000)
That IS the decimal form.
