Gasoline priced in thousandths carries how many digits after the decimal point?

AThree digits
BTwo digits
COne digit
DFour digits
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Three digits
1. The place name tells you the number of digits. 2. Place values run tenths, hundredths, then thousandths. 3. Tenths is one digit and hundredths is two. 4. Gasoline prices are written with the decimal part as thousandths of a dollar. 5. Thousandths is the third place, so three digits follow the point. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 5 'Decimals', sections 5.1-5.7_
