5. Write forty-three thousandths in standard
   form.

Forty-three thousandths in standard form can be expressed as 0.043. This means that in the decimal places, ‘4’ is in the hundredths position and ‘3’ is in the thousandths position, effectively representing the value of 43 divided by 1000.

To remember this, think of it as slicing a pizza into 1,000 tiny pieces and grabbing 43 of them—deliciously small! Decimal placement is key, so just visualize it moving left from the whole number for each reduction in size.
