I was doing the Writing and interpreting decimals exercise on Khan Academy and was asked the following question:
What is nine and three hundred two thousandths in numerical form?
I read it as "What is nine and three hundred... two thousandths", i.e. 9 and 300/2000 instead of "What is nine and three hundred two... thousandths", i.e. 9 and 302/1000.
Should there be a punctuation difference between the two?
