3. What is the quotient of \( \frac{18}{1,000} \) ?

The quotient of \( \frac{18}{1,000} \) is \( 0.018 \). This means if you want to understand it in a real-world context, you can think of it as how much of 1,000 a single 18 represents—it's a tiny fraction! If you're ever stuck with similar division problems, remember that dividing by 1,000 just means moving the decimal point three places to the left. So, in this case, it's like saying 18 becomes 0.018 when you "dive" into a bigger ocean of numbers!
