Depending on where the digits are in the table, they each represent a different value.

The digit 5 is in the ones place, it has a value of 5. 

The digit 1 is in the tens place, it has a value of 10. 

The digit 4 is in the hundreds place, it has a value of 400. 

The digit 9 is in the thousands place, it has a value of 9000. 

The digit 2 is in the ten thousands place, it has a value of 20 000. 

 

Question 1: 

In the following number, the value of the digit 4 is __________.

Solution:

Since the digit 4 is in the ten thousands place, it has a value of 40 000. 

Answer:

40 000

 

Question 2: 

In the following number, the value of the digit 6 is __________.

Solution:

Question 3: 

In the following number, the value of the digit 8 is __________.

Solution:

Since the digit 8 is in the thousands place, it has a value of 8000.

Answer:

Question 4: 

Which of the following has the same value as the number shown?

  1. \(4000 + 600 + 500 + 80\)
  2. \(4600 + 500 + 80\)
  3. \(40\; 000 + 6000 + 500 + 80\)
  4. \(40 \;000 + 6000 + 5000 + 80\)

 

Solution:

\(\begin{align}​​ 4000 + 600 + 500 + 80 &= 5180 \\[2ex] 4600 + 500 + 80 &= 5180\\[2ex] 40 \;000 + 6000 + 500 + 80 &= 46 \;580\\[2ex] 40 \;000 + 6000 + 5000 + 80 &= 51 \;080 \end{align}\)

Answer:

(3) 46 580
