Answer

$9\frac{1}{200}$

Work Step by Step

To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value in the numerator. Set the denominator to a multiple of ten, corresponding to the rightmost place value, in the case thousandths. Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor. $\frac{5}{1000}=\frac{5\div5}{1000\div5}=\frac{1}{200}$ Write the whole number portion to the left of the fraction.
