Which decimal fraction represents the ten thousandths place?

0.00001
0.0001
0.001
0.01

The correct answer is: 0.0001

The ten thousandths place refers to the fourth digit to the right of the decimal point. In decimal notation, places are organized as follows: - The first digit after the decimal point is the tenths place. - The second digit is the hundredths place. - The third digit is the thousandths place. - The fourth digit is the ten thousandths place. In the choice 0.0001, the digit '1' occupies the ten thousandths place, making this the correct representation. The other options represent different decimal places: 0.00001 corresponds to the hundred-thousandths place, 0.001 stands for the thousandths, and 0.01 is the hundredths place. This structure clarifies why 0.0001 is the accurate choice for the ten thousandths place.
