Express 0.041 as a fraction.
\(\dfrac{41}{1000}\)
Step 1: Look at the number 0.041. It has three digits after the decimal point.
Step 2: Place values after the decimal are:
tenths: \(0.1\)
hundredths: \(0.01\)
thousandths: \(0.001\)
Step 3: So, \(0.041\) means 41 thousandths.
Write that as a fraction: \(\dfrac{41}{1000}\).
Step 4 (simplify): \(41\) is a prime number and it does not divide \(1000\).
So the fraction is already in simplest form: \(\dfrac{41}{1000}\).
