Eight thousandths
Oh, dude, writing 51 ten thousandths is like a walk in the park. You just put a 5 in the tenths place, a 1 in the thousandths place, and voilà, you've got 51 ten thousandths. It's like writing a fancy fraction but way less complicated.
The thousandths place (10-3) is three places to the right of the decimal point. One thousandth would be written as 0.001 in standard form. Five thousandths is 0.005, and 75 thousandths is 0.075. Hopefully, by now you're getting the idea. One more example: 150 thousandths is 0.150. You should be able to get the answer yourself, now.
To write -45 as a decimal, you simply write "-45.0" or "-45.00" to indicate the number includes a whole number and decimal point. The decimal form of -45 represents the same value as the integer -45, but with a decimal point to show its position on the number line. The negative sign indicates that the number is less than zero.
Rounding decimals is very similar to rounding other numbers. If the thousandths place of a decimal is four or less, it is dropped and the hundredths place does not change. For example, rounding 0.843 to the nearest hundredth would give 0.84.
