To write 0.0005 as a fraction, first express it as (\frac{5}{10000}) because there are four digits after the decimal point, moving the decimal four places to the right. Then, simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5, to get (\frac{1}{2000}). So, 0.0005 as a fraction is (\frac{1}{2000}).
