i think the question should be reworded. I interpreted 'tenths, hundreds, and thousands' places as 12345 (e.g., not as decimals). or am i just slow?

The suffix "th" as in hundredths, thousandths refers to decimal places. You're thinking of "ones place, tens place, hundreds place" in which case the answer would be "E." This is a very fixable issue- this is just an issue of forgetting rules and not so much any lapse in logic.

1234.567

1 - THOUSANDS
2 - HUNDREDS
3 - TENS
4 - UNITS
. - decimal point
5 - TENTHS
6 - HUNDREDTHS
7 - THOUSANDTHS

Notice the difference between TENS and TENTHS.

If a = c • 10^b and a and b are integers, what is the value of b?

(1) c has nonzero digits in only the tenths, hundredths, and thousandths places.
(2) 1 < b < 4

from 1, we get to know that

c will be taking values such as 0.123, 0.125, 0.126

from 2) we get to know that only 2 and 3 are the available test cases, to take the value of 10^b

Now when we combine only one value satisfies the if condition

b = 3
