Using the part-whole language;

From the image provided;

the value of the square represented is 115 thousandths;

There are 1000 thousandth in 1 ones;

Number of ones in 115 thousanths is;

`(115)/(1000)=0.115`

Thus, 0.115 ones are represented in the image.

Also, there are 100 thousandths in 1 tenth;

Number of tenths in 115 thousandths is;

`(115)/(100)=1.15`

Thus, 1.15 tenths are represented in the image.

Also, there are 10 thousandths in 1 hundreth;

Number of hundreths in 115 thousandths is;

`(115)/(10)=11.5`

Thus, 11.5 hundreths are represented in the image.

Lastly, the thousandths represented in the image are 115.
