The third plce value to the right of the decimal point is the thousandths place. So the 3rd zero after the decimal would be called 0 thousandths.
18.6666 rounded to the nearest zero decimal place would be 19 Warning: Writing 19.0 gives 1 decimal place, so make sure you don't do that!
a repeating decimal
Actually, 0.03 is smaller than 0.94. The first decimal place on the first number which you give ( 0.03) is a zero. ( I have used Bold to indicate the decimal place that I am referring to, just to clarify.) Compare this with the first decimal place on the second number which you give (0.94), which is a 9. The second number has the higher number, which means that the second number that you give is bigger.
The tenths place in a decimal fraction is the first digit after the decimal point - in this case, a zero.
The third plce value to the right of the decimal point is the thousandths place. So the 3rd zero after the decimal would be called 0 thousandths.
hundred thousandths
Look at the number in the second decimal place. If that number is 4 or less, zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that number is 5 or higher, increase the first decimal place by one and zero everything to the right of it out.
In any number it is the second to the right of the decimal point, in this case, the zero.

If you wanted to write 5 thousandths, that would be: 0.005 The first zero after the decimal (.) is the tenths place, the second the hundredths place, and the third the thousandths place.

It is a terminating decimal
Actually, 0.03 is smaller than 0.94. The first decimal place on the first number which you give ( 0.03) is a zero. ( I have used Bold to indicate the decimal place that I am referring to, just to clarify.) Compare this with the first decimal place on the second number which you give (0.94), which is a 9. The second number has the higher number, which means that the second number that you give is bigger.
0.009 rounded to 1 decimal place is 0.0, as the digit in the second decimal place is less than 5. When rounding to 1 decimal place, we look at the digit immediately to the right of the desired decimal place. If it is 5 or greater, we round up; if it is less than 5, we round down. In this case, the digit in the second decimal place is 9, which is greater than 5, so we round up to 0.0.
The tenths place in a decimal fraction is the first digit after the decimal point - in this case, a zero.
