Answer:
- (a) three and nine hundred four thousandths
- 1, .1 .01, .001
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) For numbers in word form, the word "and" is usually used to signify the location of the decimal point. The number left of the decimal point is "three", and the number right of the decimal point is "nine hundred four thousandths". Then the number in word form is ...
"three and nine hundred four thousandths"

(b) The numbers in the boxes are the respective place value multipliers of the digits. The units (ones) place is where the 3 is located. Each digit to the right has a place value multiplier that is 1/10 of that to its left.

We have shown the numbers in standard form, but it would also be mathematically correct to use fractional or exponential form. For example, 0.1 = 1/10 = 10^-1. (We don't know what form your computer expects.)
