Here is your answer:

When doing problems like these your are talking about place values and they are really simple to do. Just do it this way:


  • 41,692.58
  • As you can see this is a decimal number:
  • Usually it would be 9 but hear is the case you want to know the tenths place value but since it's a decimal it would be 5:

  • 9 = tenth

  • 5 = tenths

Therefore your answer is option B "5." Just remember when talking about decimal the tenths place value is on the right of the decimal point.

Hope this helps!
