The number 27,493,615 appears in a census report. In which place does the digit 4 sit?

AThe ten-thousands place
BThe millions place
CThe hundred-thousands place
DThe hundred-millions place
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The hundred-thousands place
1. Write 27,493,615 in a place value chart, starting from the ones place on the right. 2. Reading from the right: 5 ones, 1 ten, 6 hundreds, 3 thousands, 9 ten-thousands, then the 4. 3. The digit 4 is the sixth digit from the right, which is the hundred-thousands place. 4. The ten-thousands place is held by the 9, not the 4, so that option sets a one-column trap. _Source: OpenStax Elementary Algebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 1 "Foundations", section 1.1 Introduction to Whole Numbers_
