Answer :
The answer is [tex].0005[/tex]
The first zero after the decimal is the tenths place, the second zero is the hundredths place, the third zero is the thousandths place, and of course the five is in the ten thousandths place
The reason why its not a whole number is because when there is a whole number with a decimal, there is a word that separates a whole number with the decimals such as the words "and" or "point".
But instead you said it in word expanded form which is equivalent to [tex]5* \frac{1}{10000} [/tex]⇒ .0005
