When you see the word 'and' that's where you have to put the decimal when writing a number in standard form.
So you would write this number as 17,000.106
Hope this helps. :)
The correct answer is:
17,000.106.
Explanation:
The word "and" separates the whole number from the decimal portion.
Writing "seventeen thousand" means that 1 goes in the ten-thousands place, 7 goes in the thousands place, and the rest is filled in with zeros: 17,000.
"One hundred six thousandths" means that the 6 goes in the thousandths place; the 0 goes in the hundredths place; and 1 goes in the tenths place: 0.106
Together this gives us:
17,000.106.
