Answer 2

The answer is 0.009.

Explanation:

The total number of people from which only 9 earned a perfect score = 1,000.

The number of people who earned a perfect score = 9

The decimal that represents the number of people who earned a perfect score = The number of people who earned a perfect score ÷ The total number of people concerned = 9 ÷ 1,000 = 0.009.
