The first people to use the decimal system and the number zero WERE NOT THE CHINESE! I am learning about this in school. The ancient Hindu's invented them during the Gupta Empire.

it was karen velasquez she was the first to do this if it wernt for her we wudnt have decimals tht would help us in our future :)
You write it as 0.004 because to the left of the decimal point is ones, to the first zero to the right of the decimal point is tenths, to the second zero to the right of the decimal point is hundredths, and so on.
The tenths place in a decimal fraction is the first digit after the decimal point - in this case, a zero.
a repeating decimal
To write 0.009 in words, you would say "zero point zero zero nine." This is because the first digit after the decimal point is read as "zero," the second digit as "zero," and the third digit as "nine."
