we know that
The diameter of a half dollar is equal to 1.205 in c h es
1.205 = 1 + 2 ∗ ( 0.1 ) + 5 ∗ ( 0.001 ) 1.205 = 1 + 0.2 + 0.005
so
The value of the 5 in the diameter is equal to 0.005
and
0.005 is equal to say 5 t h o u s an d t h s
therefore
the answer is
0.005 or 5 t h o u s an d t h s

The value of the 5 in the diameter of a half dollar is 0.005 inches, which is equivalent to five thousandths of an inch. This indicates a small fractional part of the total diameter measurement. Understanding where the number appears in decimals helps in interpreting its significance in measurements.
