Answer: 1/250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the recurring decimal : 0.004

Firstly:

Let x = 0.004 - - - (1)

Due to the number of decimals places and value of x;

We multiply (1) by 1000 to obtain an integer

Multiply (1) by 1000

1000x = 4 - - - (2)

From (2) we can solve for x and leave our answer as a fraction.

Divide (2) by 1000 to obtain the value of x

1000x / 1000 = 4 / 1000

x = 1 / 250

Recall x = 0.004

Therefore, x = 0.004 = 1/250
